    Talking Funny review remark...

    I was just reading a speaker review and noticed something funny in what the author said......I quote "...the bass of theses speakers is incredible, I didn't hear a single note outside of the range of these speakers...."


    Well, duh. Of course you didn't hear a single note outside of the range of the speaker----the speaker couldn't reproduce it...

    I thought it was funny.

    Some comments just shouldn't make it past the rough draft.

    I saw something even funnier. By my house was a poster for a Psychic fair, complete with address. So I thought "If its a psychic fair, why do they need to put the address on the sign?"

    Perhaps the reviewer was trying to say how full the range was. I actually know exactly what the guy was trying to say. If you take my 5jr's, and try and play some bass-heavy music, it will _try_ to play all the notes, but will not be all that successful. While it is making sound to represent those frequencies, those frequencies are out of its range
    Ludicrous gibs!

    That's what I presumed also, it just sounded funny after re-reading it.

    1. They are a close friend or relative of the company owner/manager.

    2. They are someone's "playtoy".

    3. They are a political appointee.
