I had a pair of AR3A Improved myself in the mid 70's, but they did not do any better job than the 4333/4343 in the very low frq. Nice speaker tho.Originally Posted by SEAWOLF97
Yes you can hear/feel frq. under 30Hz. I have tested my 4343's, and I can feel as low as 16Hz, but testing is one thing.
Music has a lot of energy normally from about 50Hz and up. At 50Hz a speaker needs a certain amount of power to reproduce it at a given SPL. Because the speaker is down a lot of db at e.g. 25Hz the SPL will be much lower, and you will probably not notice the 25Hz.
If a woofer is to reproduce 25Hz as loud as 50Hz it will have t move a lot (more than most woofers can) and it will take huge amount of power.
Anybody else with more knowledge than me want to step in?
