Right. That sounds more authoritative coming from an engineer...

Actually, as I've mentioned, I just bought some external speakers, and 
they produce an impressive amount of bass. But only if your head is less 
than a few feet away. The sound seems to drop off very rapidly with 
distance - an effect my 8-inch Warfdales don't seem to have.

I notice that these speaker units are *very* heavy for such tiny 
objects. Is this significant?
