- Well, maybe the Hsu does. And before the Hsu-freaks flame away,
- they might want to read the test reports on it. Although it
- competes with the Velodyne and M&K units in low frequency
- response, it does so with a heck of a lot of distortion. This is
- mostly harmonic distortion which increases the output in the
- audible range for a given bass level.
