Tympani IV bass is improved with rolling off the bass below 25 hz, which
lowers distortion greatly. Power requirements are reduced considerably
and bass is even more defined. My rotary subwoofer takes over below
30 hertz and bass dynamics are just wonderful.
My friend has Apogee Scintillas driven by huge Krell amplifiers and even
with these amps there is significant distortion below 25 hz. When he
rolled the bass below 25 hz the distortion was reduced dramatically.
He also uses two rotary subwoofers below 30 hz and can achieve even
higher levels than Tympani IV's. The Apogee Scintillas edge out
the Tympanis, but have a very low impedance which require amps with
tremendous current capabilities.
Once again my Martin Logan Summits with the Magneplanar Tympani IV
Bass panels and rotary subwoofer give me all the dynamic slam that
I require.
