Funny how 'subs' has morphed from once being specialised speakers at the
very low end of the spectrum (ie below normal speaker system), solely to
shake your seat and flap your trousers in earthquake movies, to any
speaker that handles the likes of frequencies up to 150 Hz or so.


I've noticed that in literature, too, (and litter-ature, that is, less
than competent reviews). A speaker system nowadays is often comprised of
a tweeter and a "subwoofer" with no mention of what the low frequency
driver is "sub" to, other than the tweeter.

Sigh . . .
