Yes, interesting indeed. And the idea of stretching it down to those very low frequencies is that you gotta have material with those frequencies, ie. recordings with low bass frequencies like organ music. And only a handful of recordings are of these types. I know you collect a lot of 'bass' materials, Q, so I can sense that you're really at home with the topic. From my visits to Val and John, they too have recordings that goes down low and if not that low, the bass has tremendous impact, in fact, just like pat morita, they love these kinds of recordings that give their woofers and servos a 'workout'. I don't think it's sensible to buy a Porsche with 345 HP to drive in downtown Binondo traffic. The SCTEX is more like it.
