From Hell (via a pair of old MMGs + add-on 10" woofers)

Not the movie, folks. Old Guy 42 learned that I have been enjoying myself grandly with the latest musical instrument that was added to my system's capabilities. This is the pipe organ. On pretty much all other low-frequency music, the modded MMGs do rather well all by themselves. On pipe organs however...not really. Making things tougher, I never liked -- and hardly ever used -- my Velo subwoofer for music duty. As a result, the few organ discs I had were buried under the proverbial ton of dust until I decided to do a quick build of stereo woofers recently. I guess that one day I may have told OG42 about an extraordinary listening session. It included an SACD that brought Notre-Dame Cathedral's pipe organ to my home. With the 2 new little 10" woofers providing a fully-integrated and textured extension, things shook in the room that not even my old subwoofer had excited so much, even with action movies. Obviously, OG42 figured that I still have a thing or two to learn about these kinds of performances. So, he sent me a CD by Felix Hell, recorded when he was only 14 yeards old. Well, folks that kid was already doing great when they handed him the keys to a Schoenstein organ. The performance is terrific, the Schoenstein organ is superb and the recording is clearer than many typical such recordings. Oh, and what fun demons you feel around you! The infrasonics are stupendous at times. I pulled out the mic to measure them because you don't hear them, of course. Yup, those devils lurk down there, shaking things like a Dolby Surround poltergeist...while trying to tickle the soul off your body, in plain stereo.
