I tuned two Pearl River UP 115's today (studio size) and one of them had an F number of 15.1 and the other had 14.9. I was getting way too much stretch as I went into the bass so I just ended up tuning them aurally! </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I seem to remember that someone (Fred Sturm?) mentioned some time back that he never uses a number higher than ?????. Am I correct? Or was it someone else? Just wondering what others of you SAT users do in a case like this. BTW, this is a VERY good reason why it's good to also be able to tune aurally!!!!!!! :-) </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Avery Todd</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
