Our reading
Most of a song's useful bass information sits in the 60–120 Hz range rather than in the deepest frequencies.

Their wordsThat area between 60-120Hz is where the most bass info lies in music today. I feel many subwoofers focus on the lowest Hz number rather than being musical, fast and invisible.
Our reading
What makes a piece of gear worth using as a reference is its performance, not its price.

Their wordsIt's not cost that makes something reference for me, it's performance.
Our reading
A revised version of an established product is usually just different from the original, not actually better.

Their wordsMany companies take a perfectly great speaker and every year or two release a "V2" with claims of big improvements. Usually it's just differences rather than being better.
