Golly. Makes me feel as though I got my current system at a K-Mart blue light special...
There will always be a few that must have (and possess the wherewithal to afford) the most expensive of anything.If it's any consolation, the (recently retired) editor of Stereophile magazine uses the KEF LS50 speakers at home.
Plus they are among the ugliest things I've ever seen.
I wasn't thinking from the standpoint of simply turning up the volume of the lower tones, but rather engineer them in some way so they're not as low. Like bring them up an octave or two, if that makes sense and if that's even doable (I'm no sound engineer by any stretch).
LOL! If you did that, the Diesel engine would sound like the singing Chipmunks (or like you on helium).
Really? the next level up from a low rumble is chipmunks and helium? Sure seems like there would be something still very low in between there somewhere that the speakers can better produce. I'm not sure if octave is the correct term I'm looking for on this.
Peteski, you exaggerated quite a lot. The technique is known as frequency doubling, and it's been around a long time. Cheap little transistor radios (back in the day) had simple circuits that doubled the frequency of the lowest tones so they sounded just a bit "bigger." It did not make anything sound like "chipmunks," and in fact it worked so well no one generally even noticed what was happening.
