Bear - there isn't a piece of audiological equipment made that tests above 8 kHz. So whatever you are talking about was certainly not done by a professional. Lidia teachs audiology and she laughs when people talk about hearing above 10 kHz. She points out that qualified test equipment for this frequency range does not exist, so anyone making such a claim is guessing - at best.

If there is no test equip available then i am not sure how the definitive assertions can be made like the ones in your previous posts.

Thanks.

Also, I notice in your system profile that you have SDS Class D. Do you drive your band pass subs with them? How do they do? SQ?

Yes I do. I am using one for each sub in bridged mode (500W each), but previously I was running both subs from one amp in stereo mode (125W). The sound is very good either way, but they sound is a bit more authoritative with the additional power. These are great little amps; very powerful, low distortion, dead quiet and they run cool. I am completely satisfied with them.

That's great news that you are happy with it on the bandpass subs. I've been going back and fourth with it but I have a case and all the parts sitting here so I might as well use it. Also, Class D is coming out with a hgih power (500wpc) amp soon so it will be perfect.

It's too bad you have to sell them, but you'll be back for them someday I'm sure. Sometimes you have to make priorities on what is more important, your audio system or family! The Abbey can make you listen for hours on end so I can see where you are coming from! Good luck on your sale and somebody is going to get a great deal on a pair of these. A furniture craftsmen can put on an excellent finish on these

Anand.

To paraphrase an old joke, "Family and Gedlee Abby speakers missing. Reward for speakers."
