[QUOTE="Baseline, post: 1056344, member: 14307"] You should learn to trust your ears and enjoy the music which is the whole point of this exercise. Too often people focus on specifications and technical data and attempt to put together a system that will reproduce 20Hz - 20KHz with an absolutely flat response as measured by the appropriate devices. In the process they seem to overlook the fact that most music does not attempt to include the very lowest audible notes, so why this obsession with getting down to 20Hz? Furthermore, take a speaker capable of going down to around 38 to 40Hz and rated as having a maximum input of 100 watts. If you use those speakers with a 20 to 40 watt amplifier, your perception of the speakers low ability will differ from hearing the same speaker being powered by a 120 watt amplifier. The additional power will add energy to the low frequencies and give a more satisfying (for some) presentation of the low notes. In conclusion then... are you looking for a speaker that has the correct specs as read by diagnostic equipment or... do you want a speaker that sounds good to your ears and presents a satisfying bottom end? Just something to consider. [/QUOTE]
