I was at a follow AKers house this past weekend for a SMAC get together and the guy had a really nice HT set up in a dedicated room with actual theater seats and 7.1 surround. Right below the screen there use to be a fire place. He capped it off with a couple feet of concrete then made a baffle board with 2 15" subs. It really sounded good and he claims it was flat to 14hz. I can hear that low, but when watching the 3D version of Titanic, the scenes in the engine room felt like I was in the engine room.
I just thought it was a good use of space.

Not to mention the fact that should there be a power outage, he could light a fire in the subwoofer.
Let's see the other subs that can do that trick. 😛
Back in the day of Crown DC 300 and "Flame Linear" (Phase Linear) amps there were many subs that did the burning trick, though they required power to the amplifiers 😱.Not to mention the fact that should there be a power outage, he could light a fire in the subwoofer.

Transmission line, of sorts, ported to the sky, perhaps????
Often curious about it, but no longer have a chimney. Any chance of some measurements, still curious?

I'll have to ask him if he took measurements, but he is not that kind of guy so I don't anticipate it. It was a nice and very official HT room that sounded good. He had 7 Klipsch inwall speakers around the room so it was very full sounding and the house really shook with those notes that we can't hear but make our eyes giggle.

LOL!
I bet he has to take the driver out every six months so he can remove all the feathers! I can imagine a pidgeon happily sitting on the chimney, a low note hits from below, pigeon dissapears down chimney and reapears in time with the frequency just with a few less feathers each time!
