Incidentally, the name 'fullrange' is one of convenience - nobody I know
considers them to have the same bass extension as some of the

encounter 'normal' speakers with the extent and sweetness of treble
that you get with Fostex drivers, at least!!

ITYM 'mid range'. ;-)



OK Plowie, you tell me - I have recorded three versions each of two extracts
(Clips 09 and 15) from a 'test CD' for you (and anyone else who is
interested) as follows:

1) Straight computer rip to HDD using SoundForge.

2) Argos POS amp/CDP and Buschhorn speakers (Pinkies) **OPEN MIC**

3) Bez 300B SET/Marantz CD63 Mk 2 KI Sig CDP/Jericho speakers **OPEN MIC**

(The clue to each set is in the filename!)

First some tinkly bits:

Then some over a wider treble range with a bit of percussion:

Note that they have had no treatment whatsoever other than trimming to
length and that the mic used was the only one I have - a 'Vivanco EM216
lapel mic' set to mono because a) 'stereo' is a waste of time at this range
and b) I think the mic has got an iffy channel!!

Note also that the wumpa wumpa noises are on both the mic recordings and are
therefore almost certainly nothing to do with the audio replay side and
remember that the bass will sound 'hollow' and less extended due to the
method of recording.

(Sorry about the difference in sound levels and the 'open mic' hiss - you
know about that, but hey! - Ya can't have it all!! ;-)

Now, SS or valve, I reckon if that ain't enough treble for anyone (compared
to the straight CD rip) they need their ears syringed - your comments (and
those from anyone else) welcome but, as usual, not expected....

Enjoy...!!
