If you said anything about your 15" VitaVox in the video, I must  have missed it. What frequency range are you running them, and what is low-pass filter? Given your prejudices, I suppose the cabinets are sealed, so they can't go too deep? Are you using Milq to drive them? If so, how do you load 6C33Cs? I suppose that's the last leg before the IBs, so it would have to be working pretty well? .

I did not say anything about the 15" Vitavox as it did not change. The 15" Vitavox is a very important channel in my view. In this room, my upper bass horns with Fane 8 driver push down to 115Hz, driven by Milq’s channel B. They have a 60H high-pass filter to remove the ULF. The 15" Vitavox is sitting in a good, sealed enclosure left to me by my Remedios the Beauty project. They ran from my monster Milq LF Channal crossed at 78Hz (Chenal A on the schematics)

I said monster Milq LF Channel as when I built it, I meant to drive this channel all the way down, and therefore, I have in there a huge transformer with huge inductance and ½ ampere gap. It is not necessary for this channel for I do not want to make any changes in Milq. So, I have a speaker-level high-pass filter with large toroidal coils at 50Hz to remove the unwanted LF from the Vitavox driver. The sound of my Bass is mostly the sound of my 15" Vitavox drive in a sealed box. I have no problems with music with no infinite baffle ULF channels; it is nice and balanced. It is, of course, a bit shy with base and a bit drier than I would like it to be. The integration of the infinite baffle ULF sitting on the transition slope is a bitch and mostly VERY hard to get properly. In this room, it was good with no effort on my part. I am juts very lucky with it. Who knows, if I knew it, I would have known it earlier. I would divorce earlier… 😊

Of course I agree, the 500 lb. gorilla is definitely space, all right. With the cost and complexity of Trinnov, not to mention the need for related Musical program material, I doubt I will ever get anything that serious integrated in my own system. Fun to follow You and Bill, however, as you learn from each other. It will also be illuminating to find out how much Music there is to be extracted from existing home theater programing.

Nope, Auro 3D is very much my Yamaha reverberation logic. It does not need any “related Musical program material;” it works perfectly fine from a regular stereo signal. I heard that there are some specifically encoded Auro 3D programs, but I do not care about them.
