How do you know, maybe they like that stuff? Steam locos remain very popular 50+ years after the dominance of the diesel-electric. Airplanes, too. I hear a prop plane droning overhead right now...
Space Operas with Pratt & Whitney - I like it!
You haven't lived until you've heard a Hellcat, full combat power, water injection, turbos screaming, closing on a A6M . . . ain't no vacuum in them thar manifolds . . .
It's even better in Stereo . . .
You recommend "the numbers" from Toole and yet you often argue against Toole's findings?
Besides that, if it were that easy and clear then we all would be sitting in front of our stereos instead of this computer screen.
I've worked and listened in highly treated control rooms that got "the numbers" right and still stereo doesn't sound real to me. There's simply too much distortion of spatial information. This is my experience. I wish it would be different but it's not.
Ever tried binaural recordings done with your own pinnae? Generalized HRTFs usually don't work for me very well but my own ears do.
Say what?
Maybe if you got out from in front of "that" computer screen and built some decent speakers you would listen to music more. It's not exactly "easy" but it's not that hard, either . . .
Sounds like a personal problem. Glad I'm not you . . .
True dat . . .
Or, to put it more bluntly . . . I can sit in my living room right now and listen, in "stereo", to sound reproductions with better clarity and better "imaging" than I could hear "live" in some of the halls I've staged orchestral performances in, and many if not most of the "rock" shows that I've attended (where the "sound" is often terrible). And all kidding aside that's particularly true of opera, where the combination of singers on stage and the orchestra in the pit rarely sounds as good in the hall as what I can get at home on Blu-ray. There are times when I prefer good sound to "accurate reproduction" of bad . . .

So now we're back to the good old audiophool argument "sounds good to me"? Besides that you're getting personal (again). There are better ways to spend my time. Have a nice day.

Thank you . . . I expect that I will. The weather is beautiful, and the music is good.
I hope your cochlear implant surgery goes will, and that all the major companies start producing recordings for you to listen to with it soon (I presume you've already produced and distributed to them a large number of the appropriate pinnae "microphone" devices, and instructions on how to use it/them in the studio (where there might be some issues) and your preferred audience seating for "live" recordings). Or is that too "personal" . . .
Ps. don't move your head, or the image will move too
Pps. I must confess that when listening to music I move my head a lot (just as my eyes move when viewing a scene), and even walk around whenever I can (which is part of why I prefer rehearsals (where I have almost complete freedom of movement) to performance. I move around a lot when listening at home, too . . . no doubt why (along with liking to share) I refer to "listening area" rather than "sweet spot" when discussing the performance of speaker systems in rooms.
Back about 92 or so, I was visiting the Tillamook Air Museum on the Oregon coast...this was when it had opened recently, there were no velvet ropes set-up, you could actually touch & peruse in and around the aircraft (the canopy on a Mustang is very narrow & claustrophobic) a BF-109 is TINY! Catalina, big. Hands on on a Allison engine, could have stole an exhaust manifold gasket if I was so inclined!
As we were about to leave, a Hellcat flew in, watching him taxi some 60 feet away, he got a tad stuck, so there he was,tailwheel stuck, pointed right at me...he ran-up the engine to free himself...tears welled up as I heard that sound.
There is a soundtrack to the old movie "Flight of the Pheonix" 1965.........the takeoff scene whereby Jimmy Stewarts character runs the engine up to full-power...with the musical score in the background you can make out that particular wonderful sound.
Just saying.

The original question was about human ear.
Yes, it can, because bass contains harmonics. If not, it can't because low bass is perceived by the body, not by the ear.
Happy New Year! 🙂

Guilty, but as a sound effects editor it's hard not to. And guns explos cars doors excetra.
And some of these sounds can be very revealing as well as taxing. Large dynamics, wide freq range, long reverb tails, excellent front to back as well as stereo imaging.
In a discussion like this people need to be more specific. Does bass mean the sound of a bass guitar, freqs below 100hz or below 30hz (and even the filter slope, cause HP filters at 50 hz with a6db/oct slope have 2nd and 3rd (and maybe higher harmonics which are louder (Fletcher, Munson). Huge differences.
That's the myth. I've yet to see it proved. So it remains a myth.

markus,
I am completely lost as to what in the world you are referencing WRT those subs that you have posted curves for.
The link to AVS shows a room that is essentially IB, loaded by multiple subs/woofers across at least an entire wall.
The curve you posted last shows a +/- 1dB or better flatness down to very low frequencies. Very impressive, if it is someone's actual system *in a room* at any real distance from the speakers.
So, whose speakers are shown in the curves, and how were they made to measure this flat? Perhaps I have something new to learn.
If they are not yours, then how does this pertain to yours?

The graph shows the response variations of my near field sub at 3 different points (left/right ear and center of head). The same sub shown in this post.
