Question About Frequency Response
In all my reading about different amps and speakers I'm wondering about differences in frequency response between amps & component speakers. For instance, I'm looking at component speakers up front that have a frequency response of 60hz to 30,000 hz and a Class A/B amplifier that has a frequency response of 30 to 12,000 hz. The amp has a THD of 0.02% and matches the speakers perfectly at 100W rms.
I know that the human ear can only hear in certain ranges so can someone explain to me if there would be a problem combining these two, why, and if yes, should I be looking for a matching frequency response for both? Thanks for your input! :) |
double check the amps freq response please what you wrote is not very good, the common maximum limits of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz

I tend to ignore most specifications because I find them irrelevant in many cases because they are not precise measurements, nor are the tests to derive the measurements.
A frequency response rating of 5-40Khz is more vague that a rating of 20-20Khz +/-3dB Now on amplifiers those tests are derived using a resistor, which is a constant resistive load, unlike a speaker which "reacts" and is a reactive load, whose resistance/impedance changes as it moves up and down. I am sure that amplifier will drive the speakers fine. The reading for the amplifier may be inaccurate unless it's a dedicated subwoofer amplifier. |
Yeah...something is wrong there (maybe a typo), virtually every modern amp can do 20hz-20khz unless it's a dedicated sub amp which is usually 20-200hz or so.
