Well, we always knew Jason had good hearing but he stunned the crowd today.
There were 5 of us visiting a gentleman with a very nice system and all of a sudden Jason walks across the room and tells me that the lower woofer in our hosts RM-40's is failing. I did not hear any of the type of noise speakers make when they are dying but he insisted. Damned if he wasn't right. Part of the surround was separating from the basket and he could hear the tiny puffs of air escaping from about 15 ft while the system was playing at a pretty high level. Sad to say none of the rest of us "older, more experienced" audiophiles could spot it. I thought the bass was a little fuzzy but put it down to room interaction or speaker tuning.
Oh to have the ears I did 20 years ago.... enjoy them while they last Jason.
Mike
