Craig or Mike- Are you aware if the R-DES will aid in system measurment? IE does it have a mic-pre or is it intended to use with a Rat-Shack meter? Frank-your a man after my own heart... I've just been more intrigued by the "more from less" concept. IE work smarter, not harder. Now we just...

Hi Craig, Do you still have posession of the B4+ to compare against? As I have expressed adamantly to those who talk about monster sub-woofage, you need the midbass power and capable main speakers/amplifiers to make additional headroom subjectively correct, and not just more rumble. I am...

Craig - Did you ever experiment with smoothing out the response some more with external EQ such as I had mentioned?

Craig- you have to first have the image posted to some website and have the address of the picture. Often you can open a picture in a separate window rather than embeded in a frame which will typically give you the direct address. Some of the forums allow you to post pictures in a gallery, but...

Isn't low frequency gain a wonderful thing... The general extension and hump around 25Hz certainly co-incides with your initial impressions so far as low end power. Most would be very happy with simply pulling down the 45Hz range as well as the peak around 80Hz which could actually be handled...

Craig & Frank... realize that this is not all that difficult to acheive in a car audio system. A home theater is just a much larger, and more leaky/lossy, cabin. Many years back a military simulation chamber (explosion simulation and another for testing the Sonic Boom effects), basically a...

Quoting myself... Once you insert and adjust an EQ in front of the Maestro, I suspect you would be more comfortable in stating you could easily make use of a pair. I have played with a prototype with the displacement of almost 4 Maestro's and had no trouble putting all of it to use. The...

Craig - Know that all of us at the office had a healthy laugh off of that one. The scarry part is that it's exactly the type of names we throw around at the brainstorming meetings when we are trying to figure out product names.... :rolleyes While I'm sure the rock & roll touring crowd might...

No problem, as it had been talked about in great detail on the AVS forum. I didn't really do any specific maximum output testing. All of the testing was done at the listening area at about a 20' distance in this 17.5' x 8.5' x 30' room. In short, I didn't have the B&K meter with to test the...

Reality strikes though, as I challenge you to show me a 4-6kg 18" PR. There are ways around this, but the point is that they are not off the shelf options or parts.

EMO "twins"?

Well, that started as a short response... :rolleyes A large, well designed bass horn indeed makes for a very unique experience. I have seen 4-8 double 18" pro subs stacked up and still not deliver the clarity and head to toe impact. One major issue is in showing enough self restraint to use...

Don't worry Frank, you should see the looks and comments I get when I tell people I implemented a ContraBass and a B-DEAP-32 in a moderate size room.:crazy: The part that really gets them is when I say the system could use another ContraBass!

Mike- I haven't seen Tom P. for maybe 2+ years, which was when he had hosted a PSACS meeting. His system had evolved a bit. I presume you had seen the near work-of-art BG75 dipole baffles he had constructed. At that time his midbass "link" was a couple of sealed 10s or 12s. When he had the...

Tieing back into the mention of IB's and ACI, I would give a knod to Mike that one of my more impressive DIY bass experiences was when I made it out to hear Tom Perazella's 8 - DV-12(driver previously offered for DIY from ACI) IB plus 75" BG Ribbon. That was the first time I had heard a well...

Thanks Frank, Do be sure when reading above that those comments are much about our designer Tom Danley, who is the real genius. I am a good sponge and instigator to keep him on his toes and pushing further. I also work more on the application end of the design and product development where...

Hi Frank, Are these intended for the upstairs system or the main HT with your collection of subwoofers?

Well guys, thanks for the kind comments. It is good to know someone actually reads all that babbling. :rolleyes Don't worry, our designer, Tom Danley, does that to me on a regular basis, and even he tells of dinners with the late Dick Heyser where even he felt insecure with his relative...

Our designer, Tom Danley, has long worked on and consulted on non-music applications requiring significant low frequency acoustic power. He keeps coming up with more compact options. While these are still huge, scaled down designs look to be coming closer to workable in custom installations or...

Ahh... It's obviously tuned a good bit higher. Since we are talking about deep bass and EQ/processing, I want to pass on a little realization I made when dialing in a ContraBass Friday. Where most DSP's only allow filter settings down to 20Hz, they usually have flat response to 10Hz, and the...

Hi Craig, When you say "kept the performance down" is that because you didn't see the Tumult itself work all that hard down low? I was the one who pointed out the amp to be the weak point with the Denali's LF performance. I would expect it to fair much better as a passive unit with a good...
