Atmasphere - you may be right. But Lyra does not warn, and web debate does not complain, using the Atlas on the SME V - so i wonder.
Czarivey - good suggestion, but I doubt speakers or airborn feedback is the cause. Sounds (looks) much more "physical".
Invictus - yes, I see what you mean, but investigating more, using my eyes, plus my finger on the woofer cone, and my ears - my feeling is, this pumping has messed up my musical image. The SME V has an effective mass of 10.5 g I think. The Atlas has a compliance of 12. The calculators I’ve tried pushes this into ca ok "green" 10 hz territorry. Am I overlooking something? Is the Atlas really ca 22?
