Post Subject: Gain and bassPosted by Saturntube on: 2/1/2010

I dont want to hack this thread into TH, I tried them with sub-amps 150 watts and they didnt sound good, but I was using a passive preamp, when I added an active preamp things started to get better, now with 12 watts and a a lot of gain, bass is amazing, I guess gain is more important than final wattage. Any way the drivers are 98 db efficient and the horn doubles that since we are using both sides of the wave. If I like TH, which indeed have a small mouth, I think a Real Mid bass horn like this thread exposes must be to die for.... Anyone has some sort of comparison between compression drivers against cone (dynamic) drivers in a this huge mid bass horns, or even upper bass horns. All I heard are this guys from Germany with the out of reach expensive GOTO compression bass drivers and Johan with the JBL 2490 MF driver in his upperbass horns. Anyone with WE 555 drivers?
