These create a desire for an even better, more complete sound and prompt people to choose to upgrade their speakers. New speakers are better equipped to produce all audible frequencies and are able to generate powerful pitches. Still, some partially synthesized music such as rap and hip hop have lower bass frequencies that require more specialized equipment to create. Some people, as well, require even more sonic clarity and power than...
