Ahh, Joan Wasser! I remember seeing her play with the Dambuilders in the 90s at the ANU Bar here in Canberra, during the time she was still the partner of Jeff Buckley. There were not many people there, so she shared the band's beer rider with us afterwards, was happy chatting with us and even offered comps to her gig in Sydney the next night.Mrs. Meshell Ndegeocello (not playing a cello..)

I use the clarity of the ripping like noise as one of my toon comparison guidelines, his Atmos stuff is great for voices dancing around between speakers tonality checks as well.
Ooh Audio Pro Black Diamond! My brother bought them together with their 10" sub when I was around 14 and I was pretty jealous of him! I still rocks them to this day with a pair of satellites also from Audio Pro. Would love to see some spinoramas of them to see how good they are on an objective scale, but I guess that will probably never happenTip via AI:
Pomp and Pipes! (Reference Recordings RR-59CD): Known for sun-20 Hz signals,especially tracks 4 and 9.
Here is track 4:
As usual when I listen to classical music, with much quieter and explosive, dynamic parts, I need a lot of power. Now with a 120-watt power amp, and that's why I'm testing bass now, with a pair of used super bargains (a scratch on one of them), Audio Pro Black Diamond v1. I couldn't help but buy them. Sandwiched in the corner of my listening room, with downfiring bass. Bass is down 28 Hz according according to spec. Hum. I'll measure it later.91 dB sensitivity, maybe, but I find them to be fairly sensitive anyway.

Now testing the music track above. Speakers without a sub. Pretty good I must say.
Here are pictures of them before I popped them into the corners the in my room:

Edit:
Even though they are now measured in my room, with WiiM RoomFit and UMIK-1, it may give some indication, around 33-35 Hz f3 from what I can see. It was surprisingly good, I must say.
Do you mean by separate subwoofer or Audio Pro Blue Diamond which was a three-way speaker? The same tweeter and bass woffer (in Blue then midrange) as in Black Diamond but with 10 inch side mounted woofers, actively powered up.Ooh Audio Pro Black Diamond!

Ontopic I can give you this for now. It's quite calm but when the bassline hits (especially the second time) it really hits hard!
Many don't know what they are missing or what bad/insufficient bass sounds like. It's kinda rare.
Nah it was the regular Diamonds with a separate subwoofer, after doing some searching I think it might be the Audio Pro B1.35. All I remember about it is that it was a 10" with a inverted dust cap and a black glossy finish for the enclosure. And that it played awesome bass! Well for it's size and time at least, it's probably outrun but modern stuff, but I'm certain that my brother still likes what it does
Because it's pretty close to a sine, the distortion comes through very clearly if it falls apart.
