So that's what the 'P' stands for on the selector knob of my Mission Cyrus One amp! Wondered about that... I sense a new marketing idea here.

!0% dodgy drapes, soft furniture, badly positioned speakers and flat, hard perpendicular walls, surely?

Next time you're in the shower, start humming gently about Middle 'C' (256Hz) and sweep downwards as low as you can reasonably hum. There'll come a point when you hit resonance and, depending on the 'Q' of your bathroom, will peak over a narrow band. That's what's happening to your audio in a typical home environment.

I've been wanting to share this for years, and now I have the chance! But I expect everyone knows anyway...
