Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
I have had a number of people be part of this demonstration some listeners with a great deal of experience others who think an I-Pod is highest of fidelity. None however with just a single sub. Tom 
Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
No I have never tried that. It would be mixed mono and not stereo and there would't be the close chance of aligning the voice coil of the mains and the subs. I have used a single sub of the same pair while I was doing a mod on its mate. The single...

An audible and visual floor to ceiling wall to wall sonic presentation. No holds barred and no apprehension of scale or contrast. The 3rd sub may add some weight but I cannot allow it to alter the time and phase coherency I currently have. I would...

MceljoNo I have not done a single behind the chair sub but I may add a third off to the left side of my room some 14 feet back from my listening chair. I am sure there is a void this 3rd may fill that hole where ever it is. Soundstage presentation...

Rather than stuck in a box I will accept "off the rails" as a compliment. Thanks Tom 
Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
Several first time visitors when hearing the system with their eyes closed were asked to point in both directions where the sound stage ended..it was a foot or two beyond the main stereo pair. When asked to do the same with the same recording the ...

TimlubBack in the day when I first began to use stereo subs I also used Marcof inner connects the ones that were black. I also had the latter blue ones but the black ones sounded as if they had less phase shift so I sold those off the blues and st...

And their are those who look beyond what has been published yesterday. The most important word you posted is 'hear' A box has boundaries and so does a room. When pressurized they generate upward harmonics even from applied electrical slopes of 24d...

KalA room an enclosure and free air are all passive radiators so they all must be incompetent. Tom 
Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
You can hear where the bass originates even below 40 hz. Again the box/enclosure is a giant passive upward frequency generator. A 40 hz crossover point will not stop the box from being pressurized above that selected frequency. You will increase t... 
Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig?
Dual stereo L/R time aligned subs matched up with the mains is the way to fly. Even if you cross over the subs at 40hz the actual cabinet enclosure acts as a giant passive radiator creating at least 4th order harmonics that need to be blended in t... 
Where to use Isolation devices
JohnI use the resonance grounding method. You could describe it as a grounding rod or lightening rod. Vibration itself can be given direction with the use of similar hard materials all reactive by nature. These reactive materials also need proper ... 
Where to use Isolation devices
JohnYou now need to ground/terminate the 30 lb. slab it has an even greater reserve to fill of unwanted resonance. It can sound even better yet. The whole process should be to direct the energy to ground/the mass of your floor. These pathways to g... 
Where to use Isolation devices
The purchase and support of products that Claim to isolate should be a buyer beware alert. Isolation only exists in the absence of matter. Products that claim to isolate are a failure from the start based on such a premise that cannot deliver. At ...
