And you sir, are a life saver. I was considering posting a new query thread for the same. And voila....the solution to my problem!! I'm a simple newbie here and get confused with terms like "warm" and "forward". I then go "Ok, I kinda get what he's saying". But actually if I were asked to define the terms I would know diddly squat...
Thanks a million! Oh, I've copy pasted these to refer to them from time to time.
I was unable to find any real consensus on the breakdown of the frequency range into bass, mids and highs (and the divisions within those ranges).
If anyone has an authoratative view on this, I'd love to hear it.
Cheers
Extreme Bottom : below 32 Hz
Low bass, Bottom octave : 20 to 40 Hz
Midbass : 40 to 80 Hz
Upper bass : 80 to 160 Hz
Lower midrange : 160 to 320 Hz
Midrange : 320 to 2560 Hz (2.5 kHz)
Upper midrange : 2560 to 5120 Hz (2.56-5.12 kHZ)
Highs, lower highs : 5120 to 10,240 Hz (5.12-10.24 kHz)
Extreme highs, top octave : 10,240 to 20,000 Hz (10.24-20 kHz)

PS - A quick bit of info for the benefit of those who might not ordinarily know; Harry Pearson (HP), was the founder and longtime editor of "The Absolute Sound" magazine (TAS). He, moreso than any other individual in the industry, was singularly responsible for the creation of an audio vocabulary. This was and continued to be a focus of TAS, so that ambiguous sonic descriptions were clarified to a level where it became possible to understand one another, and meaningfully and intelligently exchange ideas.
