RE: Subs --And . . .

You're very welcome.

I'm only recommending the "top quality" passive subs I know exist. Products from talented designer/engineers that have put their heart and soul into their products.

I would include Dave Wilson.

As for horn sub sound, the Inlow at least is a compression horn design, and in my humble opinion has the potential to make simpler designs sound lazy in comparison, but there may be little point in that if the rest of one's system is not up to speed.

My own take on subwoofers, after starting with one then adding a second is two subs are WAY better than one, in how much smoother they blend. Peaks and nulls easily heard with one, became all but inaudiable with two, and crescendos that should sound big, sound big.

Inmate "Duke" has made good arguments for running four small subs.

At the High Efficiency Asylum I think it's "Hornlover" that has shown some very nice designs over the years, but his info page doesn't say what he makes at this time.

Sunday's are slow here, you'll get more info tomorrow, but do give as many details as you can, related components, room size and construction, listening level, etc.

I hope you find what you're looking for, Craig
