How Low Does Your Source Material Go?

[Mike-h]

The wife was watching "The Sound of Music' the other day (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) I was reading when all of a sudden my fillings began aching, I looked up and my Onkyo sub was trying to hover, the organ in the wedding scene was shaking the house. Never heard anything that low before.

I don't know why but ACDCs 'Powerage' album has some seriously low bass. It shook my parents house 'back in the day', my current system doesn't go low enough to do it justice.

The heartbeat on the start of Dark Side Of The Moon is around 25 Hz

I used to use the synth passage in ELP Lucky Man to see how well a pair of speakers held up. Seems to me it drops into mid 20's.

The soundtrack to Gladiator also has some passages that go seriously low.

Although I am not much of a fan, I am pretty sure the band Yello has lots going on down in the twenties. Those techno bands really have a wide bandwidth!

Check out Bela Fleck & the Flecktones "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo" on cd.
Track 4 "flight of the cosmic hippo" will give your subwoofer a good workout.
It's a great album by the way. Some great banjo playing on this ceedee.

Enjoy

Also, I have no idea how low Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D minor goes, but it's a boneshaker.

When I put on Michael Hedges' album called Aerial Boundaries Side 1 Track 1, in the first few seconds I can see the woofers moving with high amplitude about 10Hz+ (?) but hear nothing. Maybe it is under my lower hearing limit??

Enjoyed / enjoying Coexist, picked up their first:



There're serious lows on side 2........

Happy quaking

Fred and have the sub minimally adjusted, but when there's bass she really kicks in.....

not LP related, but LOW NOTE related.

I remember being in Liverpool Cathedral when someone was 'tuning' the organ. I thought then how low the notes were, but to my amazement, it went an octave lower than I first heard, must have been down to <20Hz.

'Orinoco flow' (Enya?) has some nice low notes.

Public Image Limited (PIL) - 'Second Edition'. Their second album, and has some seriously low bass guitar playing!
