In reply to:

Much of the credit sometimes given to subs for "tight" or "musical" bass in fact is a result of harmonics which are in the upper bass and midrange and are reproduced by the mid-bass speaker. With all settings the same but unplugging everything but a sub crossed over say at 80Hz, little tightness or musicality would be heard. A 40Hz fundamental tone would be reproduced by the sub but the harmonic at 80Hz would be about equally reproduced by the speakers and each higher harmonic which gives the bass note most of its character would be the responsibility of the speakers.




Thanks John...I stand corrected. What about lower fundamentals?
