Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Hello millercarbon,     Very interesting.  Vinnie Colaiuta: He played that drum track in one take and I just smiled real big and said, "There’s my drum track."  Cool.     I've discovered a lot of music transferred from analog reel-to-reel masters ... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
millercarbon,     I own that Leonard Cohen/Jennifer Warnes Famous Blue Raincoat cd. The Bird on a Wire track does have some very good 3d imaging with those drums/bongos.  You said " each whack sounds individual, each drum stays put in each locatio... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
rauliruegas,     I think those Evolution Acoustics mm-series twin self-powered sub towers certainly look impressive and like they'll reproduce very good bass.       I believe it's possible to get very good in-room bass response in most rooms at a ... 
How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?
You guys n gals are forgetting a couple of my bulb installation steps before I can even think of spinning my naked wife (because clothes could generate a harmful static charge )as she's holding the bulb with her velvet gloves on (because she looks...

Dual vs single sub
phusis:" Why try and make a case with a limited number of CD’s (what genre, age of mix, etc.?) to conclude that there’s virtually no recorded true-stereo bass?"Hello phusis,     I don't believe it was millercarbon who tried to make a case that ... 
Vintage Marantz in Geico Commercial
mesch,     Yes, I assumed it was a receiver until I looked closer, they all had the flywheel tuning control, too.tis49,    Yes, it does look like albums in the yellow crate, wonder if they're individual albums.  Very impressive, everything miniatu... 
Vintage Marantz in Geico Commercial
Yes, a 70's Marantz 105B tuner to be specific.  Only Marantz had that flywheel tuning control.  Did you notice the miniature air hockey table in front of it? Here's some more info with still pics: http://www.tapeheads.net/showthread.php?t=7173... 
Dual vs single sub
Hello hifidreams,     You're obviously well acquainted with the benefits of 4-sub dbas through personal experience. What exactly does your sub system consist of? 4 SVS SB-16 Ultras, a mini DSP with REW and a Multi Sub Optimizer?     Your post ... 
Dual vs single sub
audiokinesis:"If we agree with Duke's statement that 2 subs in a room provides twice the bass smoothness of 1 sub and 4 subs in a room provides twice the bass smoothness of 2 subs..."I was paraphrasing my mentor, Earl Geddes. Not only does the f... 
Dual vs single sub
bstatmeister: " I really only have 1 place it could fit while still having acceptable WAF - in the corner of the room just to the right of the right main. Hopefully, that position will suffice."Hello bstatmeister,     Placing a sub in a corner po... 
A DIY Swarm-based Distributed Bass Array for SOTA Bass
jbrrp1, No problem, it really is very approachable. Funny, I even get excited about dbas if someone else decides to buy or build one. It’s your choice, of course, but my opinion is that 2 Dayton amps can be beneficial since they’ll provide more r...
