Life After Heft


Happy Jack

Recommended Posts

So I'm reading the manual for my new (pre-loved) Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 over breakfast - as you do - when I discover that there's more to life than Heft.

There is also Girth. Allow me to quote:

[i]"When driving the power amp hard the player can feel increased heft and girth of the individual notes, while maintaining dynamics and articulation."[/i]

Why were we not told?

In fairness, being something of a history buff, I initially assumed that this was in fact a historical reference.

Many people know that Harold Godwinson's brother Tostig died at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. (No, this was not a case of rioting football hooligans.)

What many do not realise is that he had two other brothers, Heft and Girth, who died alongside King Harold at the Battle of Hastings.

Not forgetting plucky Dane Ohm Siemens, whose resistance led ultimately to the development of the paper cone transducer.
