Have heard some good things about this too. My question is how (or why for that matter) you put 5 drivers, three of them woofers mind you, in a speaker and get down to only 40Hz at -3dB?
Follow Ups:
As a sometimes speaker designer, let me comment that the number of woofers has nothing directly to do with bass extension. It's box size and efficiency that get traded off against bass extension. If you add more identical woofers and keep the same box size, you will gain efficiency but the trade-off is you lose bass extension.Let me also comment that really well-paid marketing departments are not constrained by the same laws of physics that speaker designers are burdened with.
I hear and see so many speakers that sound absolutely wonderful to me otherwise but miss that last little bit of bottom end that makes some of my listening come alive for me. I don't need 1970's Cerwin Vegas - just a clean, taut 30 Hz or so. But I will audition even those without it that come highly recommended because I could be wrong and just not have heard the right speaker yet.Part of it also is my huge room - the bass gets lost in it. Many otherwise great speakers just don't get it done in an 18 x 24 room with 22 foot ceilings!
ithomsonb, when I wrote that I didn't realize who you were - of course you know it.
Sorry... That message number is not valid.
