    Default Oh dear. Is this 'expert opinion'?

    I was looking up the DIN 45500 Hi-Fi standard and came across this:

    This illustrates just how badly misled people can be these days. Before the internet when people would read things in books there was a fair chance that the information was correct or reliable. The publisher would check out the author's credentials and wouldn't publish any old rubbish from any chancer that handed him a manuscript. These days any idiot can write a blog and set themselves up as an expert.

    Where does 'noise' come in with speakers?

    What a load of frigging tosh.

    I was a little surprised to read that the frequency range of hi-fi is 10-22Hz. Is that where we've all been going wrong all these years?
