Just as you navigated to your present system having at least some elements which heightened the chances of success, I would like to at least initially attempt a solution with an increased chance of success. |

I absolutely assure you that all of it act identical for everyone, regardless any specific circumstances. Of cose everyone would like to “increased chance of success” but because the behavior of your room at ULF is absolutely not known, even for you, to make any prediction is imposable.

And I hope that you do not expect me or anybody else to answer this question? Do you need my or anybody advise about about marriage, investment and etc… Be advised that there are VERY few people who would try all 3 direction you sketched. Usually people try one direction and then work with it in order to have whatever they chose to work. Again, it all would be greatly depending from your room. Remember, bass is sound. ULF impact mostly reverberation time then actual sound. ULF will not work in small room as the room will give own gain in ULF region, this gain will have very short decay time however.

| So let me rephrase my question Romy, if that was the choice that faced you, what would you do? |
|
Move in new room, put in there any speakers, then encased bass in the room and observe what the room can handle. Then would make a judgment what topology of bass would better highlight best part of the properties and hide the bad properties.

| Romy, I thought you always had ULF, even in your old room, just not the superior dynamics and I imagine voicing that you now have with the midbass horns, not to mention the increased ability to fine-tune the different bass channels. |

Nope, I never had them. I had mono ULF for very short period of time 9-10 year back as an experiment only but it never was a part of Macondo before, nor was it necessary in my old room.
