Are you sure...? It's entirely up to you obviously, but consider the following. Human beings can hear down to 20Hz. Your Neats have a quoted frequency range of 45Hz upwards (according to http://www.hifix.co.uk/bookshelf-speakers/neat-acoustics/motive-3.html which assume is base on the manufacturer's specs) Those specs are quite likely to be optimistic and may well be the -6dB figure. Not all recordings have information below 45Hz but some do. Some of it is muscial and some merely ambient, but there is information. Some people go as far as to say that it makes a very significant difference to the impression of reality of a recording through spatial cues; I myself use a sub with my proac tablettes (nominal frquecny range 38Hz upwards) and found that they gave a very definite improvement both to the indivual sound of certin instruments (from cellos down) and to the sense of space in the recording as a whole. It seems to be to be indisputable that you could achieve greater somewhat fidelity to the recording by getting a sub or speakers with a wider frequency range. You don't have to of course, but if you want an imnprovments there is one which is plainly achievable and makes sense. So why ignore that and instead look at better ethernet cables (and a linear psu) which might at best [I'm going to restrain myself from going any further, but this much is indisputable] make a very very very slight difference to the sound? -- adamdea ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamdea's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92924 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
