Post Subject: Is it live or memorex?Posted by steverino on: 6/13/2025
I'm a bit unclear if the discussion is centered around deep bass on recordings or live in concert halls as well? The problem of deep bass (low organ notes or synthesizers below 30 Hz) is that they vibrate the room. In a concert hall there is no discrepancy because you are sitting in the room that is vibrating. If a recording then you are in a room either not vibrating or vibrating differently; so now there is a mismatch. (I'm leaving aside headphones.) If the bass is above 30Hz or so then a system should in the best case have a seamless integration of the bass with the midrange and treble. But I assume you are not talking about typical orchestral bass?Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
