"Subwoofer speed"? Can't wait to see the speed o meter measurements. 

Their design reminds me of a small version of the Danley Labs Matterhorn semi truck trailer subwoofer project they made some time ago.

Their middle of the room positioning suggest -6dB sub-bass speakers?

Sensibly priced low frequency innovation is always welcome. All the best to the folks at Borresen.   

 

@mijostyn Are all your sources digitized? 

@phusis I had one of Tom's tinnitus inducing Tech 7 ServoDrive belt drive horns with the band for a few weeks. Brought it in the house and ran the source through the Velodyne's Rap EQ preset, OMG!

I hate to criticize anything I haven't actually listened to at home or at least on a familiar system. On the other hand there were some phrases coming from Mr. Borresen that triggered my yada whada? too. 

As a Double Bassist a single or 6 pack of -6dB sub-bass systems just don't go low. 

@deep_333  For example, a servo controlled driver will be forced to slam STOP quicker than some floppy/sloppy driver. It will result in the perception of FAST BASS! There may be other ways to do it as well. What is so hard about this to comprehend?

Oops, I didn't mean to criticize the ability of servo control rather the basic premise of the term subwoofer speed. I write poorly, my bad. "sloppy / floppy" that I'm going to use, thanks.

 

I replaced the Octavium with my first servo sub in the late 70's from Jonas Miller and Ken Kreisel at their Wilshire Blvd store. They had a stunning with and without demonstration setup there.

Now that I understood I was listening for I heard an even better presentation when I brought home Velodyne's ULD servo design and currently use two DD Plus. That David Hall, smart guy.

I believe the sub in my large Bag End ELF-M / S18E-D Bass rig has some control associated.
