Steverino, I think that your
question contained the answers. If you get “overwhelmed” by sensory overload
then it might not be a good thing, still it has absolutely nothing to do with
what is being played. Live sound is played in concert halls that has
reverberation time much longer then most of our listening rooms. The ULF
response if large halls is quite high and to a great degree moderates many aspects
of sound in halls including perception of tempos. If you bring a large olestra in
a small room and play then you have understandably bad sound but with introduction
of delay channels you can get fake longer reverberation time and to make the
things feel good. The small room will help to build up higher ULF amplitude but
it will not be natural ULF as it will be decaying differently then your
auditable range. To fix the think you would need own fake ULF decay channels.
It is understandable that to make all of it practically to work virtually impossible
and I am bring it up purely for illustration point.
If you do not believe or not
familiar with in universal benefits of ULF presence during playback then make
your experiments. Even in context of a regular string quartet it is well
auditable. With proper training you should be able to detect ULF context with a
recording of a flute, not to mention such as a spectacular ULF beneficiary as harpsichord
or triangle. So not listen the sound itself but the space where the sound
presented. Let me to give you an association: if any difference if you dive into
your 15x40x8 pool vs you give into Atlantis ocean?
Answering your question before:
it has nothing to do with Bruckner, it was
juts what I like to listen, what give me a lot of philosophical context and
what I know how my inner me should response. Bruckner has in my view a “kink” -
it hugely benefited from being plagued in a very large hall with very long reverberation
time that might (or might not) has anything to do with ULF. The connection
between ULF and reverberation time is a very complex subject, I can argue both sides
and I have my believes but not convictions.
Anyhow, I need my infra bass
back to me room. I am not sure it is because I accustom to it or because it is a
universal rule of a proper sound reproduction. I am not in business of writing a
book about proper sound reproduction I am in business to satisfy myself. I do
feel that I need to get more ULF into the room, would it be ULF heroin sir chemotherapy
I do not know and frankly speaking do not care too much.
