I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah!
I just received shipments of 4 subwoofer drivers and they will not be going into a distributed bass array.
I'm replacing my left and right speaker stands with powering subwoofers with 2 subwoofer drivers each. I call them powering because they will be powering the 2-way monitors that will sit on top. Here's a beauty shot of the insides.
The amp has all the DSP power I could need to produce perfect speaker measurements. I wonder if JA at Stereophile would wax poetically if I priced them high enough?? 
Wait what? F. Toole's third edition of Sound Reproduction promotes almost the exact opposite, does it not? Reinforcing the DBA approach by placing the bass cabinets more in line with room response, than speaker placement. What am I missing, @atmasphere , @audiokinesis , @erik_squires? |
Not sure what you are replying to @scotandholly |
@scotandholly, I’m pretty sure @erik_squires made his design choices with eyes wide open, and I respect them. If you want to persuade him to go with a distributed multi-sub system, I guess you can try. (To avoid possible confusion I don’t use the initials "DBA" because they can also stand for "Double Bass Array", which is a very different approach.) Duke |
@audiokinesis, definitely not trying to persuade anyone, of anything. Just curious and wanting to add to the conversation. Certainly the big guys like Wilson, Magico, YG, etc. have the same approach. But digging into the weeds, I thought you guys had a better idea, idk? |
