Ahhh quite true that. I'm surprised mine have held up for as good as they
have although there are others who would argue the fact. I've always enjoyed
music I can feel not just hear. I've been somewhat lucky in that regard I
guess. Just not lucky in every other area of aging!
DM> Oh, and just before your eardrums comes the speakers. :-)
I used to have a set of Peavy SP-3s... they had a light inside of them on
the horn to help absorb some of the clipping. To me that was almost like having
internal strobe lights. I did end up getting a set of RatShack Mach I (the
original Mach Is) at a decent price. One of the ultimate in speakers one could
get. Talk about an insane frequency response!
