Re: [Phys-L] Suggestions for audio speakers

[Vern Lindberg <vwlsps@rit.edu>]

Consider powered speakers. Depending on what you want to spend and what space you want to fill you can get two-way systems with built in crossover starting at $200 or so. Studio monitor speakers are another option, often smaller, and lower power. Call up a recording studio, or pop into a store dealing with sound reinforcement.

I have a CD that plays a sine wave starting at about 20Hz and sweeps up to 20,000 Hz (I ask students to raise their hands when they can't hear it anymore). I notice the speakers I have don't respond until around 50 Hz - I can't hear anything above about 10k Hz myself so I don't know if the speakers I have go to 20 kHz or not.
