Dan is right on the money in this statement. Our ears have a hearing sensitivity which follows a curve, not just a defined range. Even 10Hz can be made audible if well above 100dB. I seem to recall 108-110dB being this threshold. Likewise, if we track the equal loudness curves down to the low...

This thread is a good one to peruse and look at the content in modern soundtracks. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=144887 FYI, the original use of the production ContraBass was for theater organs, which is why the output at low frequency was specified at 16Hz.

Well, anything is a WAF improvement over the access panel on the top and the old guitar cloth style grill. This one will be a lot cleaner looking with more conventional looking grills. The access panel and input connector will be on the bottom instead of the top. The re-work of the grill and...

Hi Craig, Indeed a very competent review is covered, but shootouts are always fun. I'm in and out of town for about a month here. After that I will have the new cosmetic finished and deliverable for the ContraBass, and with the use of the B-DEAP in home theaters Tom Danley is thinking about...

Good observations Craig. I didn't check the exact math yet, but that looks about right. Since I know many are interested in test results, I can tell you to just wait a few months and keep reading the mags... You'll see all sorts of data by summer. One of the very unique quality of the...

Hi Artie, My apologies. In writing the response, I forgot to post the suggested list price of $3,450 each. For now, both the ContraBass and the B-DEAP32 are passive. Best Regards,

Indeed, the B-DEAP 32 is an interesting animal. When we creatively use a B-DEAP sub in a confined home theater, we could in one way consider it a dual 12" sealed sub below maybe 16-22Hz. Above this frequency there is progressive loading from the horn, where we then reach the flat passband in the...

thebland has been working on adjustments in the system since he recently upgraded his pre-pro. There is a thread on AVS Forum about the runts where this would probably get a better response. The runts aren't packaged as of yet for typical in-room use, but with a good deal of power, a front 3 of...

To Craig- I would much rather have you check out some full range speakers as compared to your K-Horns than lug another subwoofer down to the basement. :rolleyes

Hi Guys, The ContraBass is a unique animal for sure. It has been around since some time around 1989. Our designer tends to be about 10 years ahead of what people are actually making use of, and it is interesting to see that now, more than 10 years later, we are finally finding real...
