Hi all, being a FB1+ owner I am pretty amazed that it is viewed that the lower bass has gone. Not saying Halba is wrong, because we hear what we hear and nothing will change that.
They are spec'd to go down to 28hz, and having received advice on another thread and researching on the web, this covers most instruments bar the organ. One link I read on mixing advice even suggested that some recordings filter out sounds below 40hz because this noise is viewed as accidental, as it can't have come from an instrument and may be footsteps or unintentional. I'm not sure how this works with electronic music though.
The biggest factor I have found is size and dynamics of the room. That said, mine are in a reasonable size room, and really fill it.
I have ordered a BK Monolith because I wanted too see what sub 28hz sounds like. I spoke to BK and asked if I could hear much below 28 hz. They guy said no...but you will physically feel it. This made me laugh........and my house is detached from neighbours.
The delivery is in 3 weeks and I can let you know how a FB1+ and sub sound like. I am really worried that my room causes lumpiness and I need an equaliser between amp and sub. I am also a bit worried that I might drown out the mid, but this is probably better expressed as getting the gain level, phase and crossover right.
If all doesn't go well is anyone here interested in buying a 46kg coffee table?
