Main living room stereo system SUBS

[JinMTVT]

And yeah i am fine with complex setups if it involves mostly digital stuff
up to amplifiers .

Must be some crazy advances on servo subs/amps recently ?

used to discuss with someone from here that made servo sub and amps
can't recall his name damn ...

 

[JinMTVT]

well i'll be damned i looked up the internet and though about nick ..rythym
servo
and BOOM

Rythmik Audio • Direct Servo subwoofer products

If you're considering line arrays (with subwoofer support) you can't go past this:

The making of: The Two Towers (a 25 driver Full Range line array)

With a pair of these in sealed boxes:
Peerless by Tymphany STW-350F-188PR01-04 15" High Power Subwoofer

Two to four full Martys, nearfield. Solved.

Martys = martin logan electro statics ?

never really like the sound of those but i don't know why ...
actually researched on DIY electrostatics like 15 years+ ago
almost built some .then you know..family business etc.. 😉


oomhs : that's a crazy sub driver!! OMG!! i'll look into it ! haah
and those line arrays i recently reviewed this exact thread
interesting stuff
good construction ideas

A bit more the kinda thing i would gladly use in me living room 🙂

Good grief, no! Sub bass from 'stats? That made me laugh.

No, I meant the (full size) Marty subs of which there are several incarnations. Most now build with the Dayton UM18-22 with no mods to the box.

I don't have them (I have a quad of FTW21s) but there are many, many satisfied builders and any questions are usually answered promptly there by experienced builders. If you dig around on AVS there are many variants, such as disguised end tables, different form factors etc.

ahhahahaha
i was a bit puzzled by the Martin Logans lol

i'll dig around thanks for the tip! 😉

I would go infinite baffle in a living room. The WAF might work awhile but a grill is your backup ace in the cards when all else fails. ��

ques que sa mange en hiver?
sorry in winter carnival mode...

if you peel the grills off the yorkville's you have the makings of a line array but it may not be to your liking...

Yeah, the first true sub woofer we built was a stereo pair of 20 Hz Fc, 300 ft^3 false wall IBs. Only had a few special effects RTR tapes that went this low, but the vinyl albums of the day's [mid] bass/lower mids was 'to die for', right up there with compression horns due to the driver's ~20 ft^3 Vas, 0.2 Qts.

Yeah but guys that's reserved for my HT room subwoofers

i've got a double wall ( concrete ) with a stupidly large port and chamber ( to the garage )
with 16 holes for 16X 15" subs 😉

infinite baffle planar wave powa ! but that's for later
