this makes good sense. the h4 was not on a stand but just lying on the
table. the table itself would have a specific resonating frequency. so
it would be more likely the h4's close proximity to a flat surface.
thanks for ALL the responses.very helpful.
as far as volume goes, when the music is rowdy and exciting, i would
lean toward the turnitup camp. some of the best shows i've been to have
also been the loudest. that said, clarity is a must and i like to keep
it below the pain threshold. i have no toleration for high frequencies
at high volumes. i remember a jam where i retreated to the bathroom to
play along cuz the cymbal hits were cutting my head in half. and i used
to think that i could handle any bass volume until one day i went for a
cruise with a buddy and he cranked his sub. wow! do people just ignore
the pain because it's hip to go thumping down the strip? yeesh...
cheers,
