Post Subject: Polar Opposite ULFPosted by Paul S on: 7/24/2010

Romy, if the room supports it, why not put the lowest channel there?

OTOH, if two big woofers are to fire at 180 degrees, is 3' far enough apart to preclude cancellation from rarefaction?

Lots of ink has been spilled on the subject of ULF over the last couple of years, however most of the home-based commentary I've read has been by HT guys rather than stereo music people. Even so, it is interesting to note that if levels can be matched, then it appears that one sub may be easier to integrate than two, and especially so if the user has a "decent" equalizer. And who knows how these things get "decided", but those wishing to equalize as well as possible without electronic EQ are going to 3 subs.

As with mid-bass, the ULF as part of Serious Music seems to be a fairly wide open subject.

Best regards,
Paul S
