steve: A night and day difference! But, I'm sure the Ultra has a lot to do with that. Actually, I think the room adds to the "concert effect" for some of my DVD's & SACD/DVD-A's. Yeah, it is a big one, but it's not a problem any more.

I remember you going through the process John.
>>>But, I'm sure the Ultra has a lot to do with that.<<<
Couldn't agree with you more. Thats one brutal sub with the ability to be as gentle as the subject source calls for.
In my leaky 2880^ 12 X 24 X 10' it performed incredibly well. Bullet proof comes to mind and such a small foot-print to boot!
What % music/movies will you be using it for?

I can now hear the tactile tightness of a running bass from John Clayton on Diana Krall’s – Live in Paris.

That's definitely a place where you will notice it. Average subs will blur the sound of the strings and it just doesn't sound right. Congrats!! A system doing exactly what it's supposed to do is a wonderful thing

steve: My setup is used mostly for Hi-Res audio and concert DVD's. 80/20 music, is about the ratio. Actually, I've had it about a week and I have yet to watch an entire movie with my new sub. I know several HTF-er's that would be "shocked and appalled" to hear that!
John: It just makes the music sound more enveloping and three-dimensional. It can shake my big Natuzzi couch with ease, when the content calls for that. I'm now able to listen for hours with no ear fatigue. I've already sampled all my SACD/DVD-A's and concert DVD's which total almost 100. I'm now in the process of pulling out my old redbook CD's to see what the difference is. Belated "Happy Birthday", John!
All the research paid off!

I'm glad that the sub has worked out so well for you.

 Music sounds great even with my PB-10 Diana Krall is one of the first places I really noticed it too.

John: Try plugging the port, it might sound even better!

John: I demo-ed a PB-10 for about a week. I was told the design of the driver was more similar to an Ultra than a PC-Plus. So, I thought I'd try it out. It sounded very tight and accurate on music but it just couldn't fill my space.
