Dead V18-1200....am i the first to kill one?

its about the production too.extreme bass music designed for soundsytems is not the same as amy crackhouse at glastonbury.if you listen to mungos hifi prods for example,you will often hear the growling lev is on about,and even sounds similar to the voice coil hitting the backplate during the bassline.ok,this is in the production only,but it can make it hard to know whats really going on with yer bins.call me paranoid ,but im sure some producers enjoy giving the soundman kittens when the drop comes in!

True, Like modern dub having reverb and delay on bass notes sometimes... (makes the sound of bass rattling something).   It's to do with people hearing things in a session and trying to recreate it in a studio. Same reason why drum and bass tunes got faster and faster over the years. people played 1st tunes at +2% so people heard em and made them at that speed, and so on.. Slightly off topic sorry.

tangent, tangent...

cant say im too convinced by p-audio's general (non oem) range of tweeters, they ..erm just dont feel nor sound like theyve been designed right. Amoungst other things, the last one i saw had the most disgustingly thin diaphragm ..cone breakup ..cough cough !

so, probably look elsewhere for those at least.

same story with other new revision drivers from them; tried getting hold of some of their new neo mids to play with & was told not to get hopes up about seeing them too soon. its all very well them being 60 odd quid.. but it comes to nothing if you cant get hold of them ;) :)
