That depends on "low." I've never appreciated a sub woofer. I don't like that type of sound. Subs to me came on the scene about the same time as rap. I can understand why that sound is needed to get the point of rap but it's not the sound I was raised with. In fact, my youth was spent with a single speaker in the dash and an AM table radio. When the stereo revolution hit about the same time as the Beetles I got into that as did my peers. But let's face it, that was then and a long time ago, certainly before surround sound and woofers.

I listened to contemporary music, top 40 if you will, until punk came out. That was it for me and I retreated to my roots while throwing a bit of country into the mix. The Urban Cowboy thing and all that.

So, I don't need big lows. Just wondered about the speakers. PA does make some sense but I wonder what the construction of a dedicated PA speaker would be in comparison to what a small band might set up. Or, these could have been for an early version of a DJ. DJ's have been around for a long time.

I should have opened one up.
