[QUOTE="hoss, post: 4169474, member: 549860"] as helotaxi said, you want to have as much "upfront" bass as possible to keep imaging and blending properties in your set up. one thing i will go out and say in rebuttal to his statement (actually, not so much a rebuttal but perhaps an addendum [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] ), lower frequencies start to become omni directional below a certain frequency, meaning that you cannot pinpoint the source of the sound. this is why subs are fine to be located behind the listener, while other speakers need to be in front of or as closely aligned to the listener as possible (higher frequencies are even more directional. imagine the higher frequencies acting like a beam while lower freqs start to fan out more and more until they eventually fan out all the way in 360 degrees). why am i telling you this? so you can understand why you need to find the cut off point between sub-bass and mid-bass [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] another factor as to why people make a big deal about mid-bass is, like people have said, it is often difficult to get a good mid-bass reproduction in your stereo install. as the frequencies get lower and lower, the cone speed slows down, thusly, the effective range that the speaker reproducing the sounds gets smaller since the cone cant move fast and slow at the same time. so to get a great reproduction throughout the entire human listening range, you would need more and more speakers, which is hardly ever practical or effective... i just got distracted and i guess thats really all i got for right now... maybe someone will follow behind me and reinforce or correct something i said [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
