Stereophile Class A and Frequency Response

Gawdbless,,,It's that last octave, down to maybe 16 Hz, which lets you FEEL some organ music. If you don't play that kind of music 30 Hz is plenty good.

Eldartford- I agree 30hz is good enough for most music, I listen to J.S Bach's wonderful Organ music so like to feel the additional true sub-bass.

Kinda like the Car companys all claim at least 3 miles per gallon better than they actually get on an average useage.. Never believe everything unless proved in truly optimal environments and that means the ones we actually use not some perfect built isolation booth.

I find this disturbing that Stereophile would put the speaker in this category.

Why do you find this so disturbing? Do you have some form of biblical belief in Stereophile? They are prone to the call of the dollar just as any other business.
If you wouldn't put them up on a pedestal, they wouldn't let you down.
Their recommended component section is just for shiggles.

Cheers,
John

For better or for worse, the ratings in Stereophile have a strong influence on the buying decision of many. If they make a claim that they will only include products that meet a specific specification within a certain elite group, they should stick with that. For me it's a general issue of integrity, and I it makes me feel less positive about the folks that run the magazine.
