subwoofers...end the insanity

["Scott Bristol" <scottbristol@hotmail.com>]

Enough on this bass thread. I believe everyone has a valid point about the 
types of bass different subwoofers emit. When I used to sell audio equipment 
qualifying the needs of the customer is the most important. Some people like 
boomy bass and others like a more accurate "audiophile" sound. Remember, 
this is all relative to the listener. I would always tell people "speakers 
are like art, choose whatever sounds the best to you and do not let others 
tell you what to like". I have a friend that likes very "bright" tweeters 
and I cannot stand them as they hurt my ears. Thus, I gave him a new pair of 
Boston pro tweeters I could not stand.

I am also very particular of my bass sound and I have not heard but a few 
home subs that I cared for (I refuse to spend $3000 plus). I want the best 
of both worlds, boom for theatre and an accurate blend for music (of all 
types). It took me about 4 months to get what I wanted by designing and 
building my own. I experimented with at least 3 different enclosures and 
about 8 different brands of subs and a shitload of power (low by Mr. 
Carver's rating style).

Let people like whatever they like and realize it is useless to try to 
convince them otherwise. I happen to like my Audi (mac) and screw everyone 
else that doesn't. (one of the reasons my ex IS my ex)

Just my .02
Scott
