Unbelievable idiot! Last night an audio guy visited me and I played to him some music. I was not sitting in the listening spot but what stroked me was now stringent and how shallow the playback sounded. I was waling around the listening room, scratch...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Dose the midbass horns semi-mono location has an impact to the “width” of playback. Yes it dose and I did clerlay expressed it in posts what I played with idea of width modulation channels. [/quote]Romy, I think that I...

Nope, I do not have the itch with ULF sound but I do have a mild itch with ULF concept. The itch is not strong enough to make me to do something but I would like another day to push the boundary of reality and to see what in behind the rabbit hole. L...

You know, it surprises me how much less fan to listen my playback without ULF. Nope, the playback does not sound bad from audio perspective without ULF but it for sure a bit different experience. From a certain perspective to be in a room with U...

There is site out dedicated it infinite baffles subwoofers. I am not sure how serious they are as they use mostly metal in rubber drivers as got thrilled when “Apollo 13 takeoff, my doors move back and forth 1/2", and the frequency is below 5 hz...

It kind of said the Massachusetts is very much not “horny” state and there is not a lot of enthusiasts of horn loading live in Massachusetts or in the entire New England. If we New Englanders have the saturation of horn interest as high as California...

This is kind of funny. I got another B2 amp a few days back. It was near new condition, at least inside. As I plug it to drive my ULF I felt that it produces some kind of strange bass. I did not like it at all and it was very different then what ...

Two "temporary" solutions worth considering:1) A big nasty Krell KAV 500i (stereo 2x250 into 8 Ohms; 2x500w into 4 Ohms; built-in preamp; excellent volume potentiometer; remote; holds resale value). Though the mid range and HF of Krell amps is not co...

But efficient (in terms of space usage) and radical.put woofers in the sides of flare of your attic horns, sort of like Danley Synergy horn, not near the throat but towards the mouth area, using the attic as the infinite baffle.But will the pressuriz...

You have a nice very much full-range, preferably multichannel, playback system, and you like what it does. Now, disconnect your very lowest channel.
Disconnect it and get use to this sound. Then put the lowest channel back to
rotation. You got bett...

Romy, is this a trick question? You are the only person I know of with time aligned, true IB ULF channels using 4 Aurasound sub-woofers, so who's going to answer your question? The first thought that came to my mind was how some "Big Music" composer...

I forget if you started out by setting the phase and level(s) of your ULF with DSP to begin with. Not to cave in to herd mentality, but it might be "worth it" to rent a DSP/D (servo) amp(s) combo to play with. If nothing else, that amp has to modulat...

Sounds like the title to a poem!I'd go with the RCRC crossover... Why? Its cheaper, and as Paul mentions, until you introduce the final character (uncle ULF), the real end of the story is impossible to write.

It is not about Dynamic Range per say but about dymick differences that I feel and that I care with good ULF he effect of rising of acoustic and tonal pressure is instant, very soft but absolutely instantaneous. Live music has feel like literally...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]In this case, below 50Hz, I think el`Ol is right to suggest that you consider using DSP as a permanent solution. The SMS 1 is in theory the silver bullet... You just need to find out if you can live with it long-term. Be...

Time coherence of ULF may be less important than that of higher frequencies and that seems to make sense in theory and jibes with my own experience. However, I still think ULF timing matters a lot with respect to a) higher frequency drivers and b) ot...

If I somehow was able to recalibrate Macondo to run with the specifics of my new PP2000 sound but in the lower bass my currant playback is completely dead. It is not that it is non-listenable –it is enjoyable but the whole lower end of the midbass ch...

Until people actually start to listen to and correlate well-determined sound with pieces and parts, they are going to continue to spend money on BS "engineering" ideas rather than listening their way through Musical options. "Underhung" and "Per...

There is a tube out there might be a good candidate to drive ULF from DSET
http://tubedata.tubes.se/sheets/127/7/7242.pdf
It is a low voltage triode with 100W on plate, 9 times gain and 80R plate impedance. 3 of them might form a...

Romy,I might have overlooked something on your site but I understand that your ULF amp is driven directly by the preamp line stage. If that is the case, you may want to consider an old technique for integrating subwoofers and drive your ULF amp w...

This week two audio persons visited me. Both of them experimenting with loudspeakers of own design and during their visit I discounted my Macondo channels and demonstrated to then the contribution of the each channel to Macondo Sound. Both of them di...

I have also a fondness for this design which may well suit your room with the line sunk in your basement. It is interesting that this design makes use of two woofers in push-pull configuration as well as making use of a transmission line. The only tr...

This for someone who do not use ULF might be considered as superfluous but I am going to tell you that that for me, the person who use ULF dally, it is an absolutely mandatory tool. The ULF channels have to have a good calibrate dB meter that in real...

It did not last long….
Just a couple days back I was thinking that I will live with my current lower bass for a while and now I feel that I will not. I do not feel that my current ULF is wrong. In fact I feel that it is truly superb but I wou...

I am usually not a big fun of somebody refer to eBay Items and I myself do it very seldom. Still, here I am as I think it is an interesting deal for someone. There is a guy out there that is damping a few of Aura RS-8.1 bass modules.

Since I finalized how my midbass horn handles decay the only things left in my playback is to set the right level and cut off point of my ULF channel. Formerly I did set it up for 35Hz, second order and it was fine as a temporary setting. However in ...
