    overbuilding

    Overbulding is a JBL way of life, it says in the old ads...
    In the latest copy of the danish magazine High Fidelity, they are making a story about a audiophile man.
    This man has a pc table with a regular size screen placed on the middle. Just like most of us has. But guess what he use for pc speakers? On the table, right next to the screen, he has a pair of JBL 4343!!! It looks crazy with those huge speakes on a table with a small screen between. But if that is not enough: Under the table: 2 18 inches subwoofers. I wish I had a picture to show you, it looks nothing but crazy!

    My PC and my Sound System

    My sound system and it's many, many watts, happens to be in my home office, and my PC's sound card is plugged right into channels 5 and 6 on my mixer...

    Regards,
    Charley

    By the time you are old enough to afford it, you no longer can here it, so you crank-up the volume so you can at least feel it!

    The quest for sonic nirvana starts at the bottom. If it's bass deficient, it's doomed.

    Bass is Base

    Amen Guys

    Without a great bass section for the sub harmonics of the midrange the whole thing collapses in a hurry.

    amen brother...

    you don't so much hear great bass as feel it in your chest. When it gets loud and low enough that you're afraid it's going to alter your hearbeat, then that's about right . Had that happen at a Floyd concert once....unreal....

    What - like I was going to see Floyd without some medicinal assistance ? That's crazy talk....



    Still, the bass was about the best I've ever heard in my life...

    Love that feeling.

    Way back when, I took my then wife to hear Jefferson Starship. I guess she expected it to sound like it did on her car radio or something. Anyway, after two songs, she left and didn't come back, so I went to find her. She was standing in the lobby of Wings Stadium with a frightened look on her face.

    I asked, "Are you OK? What's wrong?"

    She replied, "I had to get out of there. It was like the music was controlling my heart. It felt like the Devil was trying to take over my soul!"

    We never went to another concert together until I buckled and went to hear (the very attractive) Amy Grant during her Christian-only days. That's a night I coulda used some of jblnut's medical assistance.

    "Are we there yet?" "Are we there yet?" "Are we there yet?"
    Out.

    Went to see ELP in 1973 for the Brain Salad Surgery tour and it was in quad!! I coudn't believe it! The bass power was amazing but it was clear too not just mush. During the show I had to make the obligitory run to the mens room. So I am standing with my hand against the wall and Emerson hits the bass pedals. The whole damn building shook even the concrete walls were moving!! It was the most incredible low bass I have ever heard at a concert.
