Sofa mounted speaker ... ... ???

mart34 · 13th April 2008, 06:45 PM

Hi there ...

Has anydody ever seen a driver which is built purposefully to be mounted in a sofa. The unit is designed specifically to vibrate the chair replicating very lo frequencies however, the devic\e does not emit a sound ... ?

I have seen one before but cant find it on the net now ...

Can anybody throw me in the right direction ... ... ???

Also ... does anybody have any experience with these units ... ???

Are they as gimmicky type thing or can they be quite effective when integrated with a high quality audio setup ... ... ???

Any help on this this will be greatly appreciated ...

Many thanks
Martin

Have a look half way down the page. I've experienced this little beast, and it's quite fun.
