[CAUT] Lack of low frequency response

Just off hand I'd say it's too stiff.

Subject: [CAUT] Lack of low frequency response

Hi folks.

Just a general question I would like some thoughts on.  What are the 
major reasons for a soundboard not having very good low frequency 
response.  I've heard several makes from former eastern Europe... 
Zimmerman comes to mind right away.... with a particular kind of nasal 
sound to their instruments... and I've come to the conclusion that this 
sound often corresponds to a panel with poor frequency response under 
say... 300 hz.  Like turning down everything below 300 hz on a stereo 
system... turning up the midrange... and leaving everything above 2000 
hz alone.

I'd appreciate some thoughts on the matter.

Cheers
