Post Subject: A 4th order bandpass vibrator?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 10/24/2011

Thanks, Jorge, but what you propose and what is done at the pictures your posted has nothing to do with Infinite baffle. This configuration rather reminds me the 4th order bandpass. It is popular setting but it is not what I like as the bass coming from there uselessly more muddy then I wools like to have. I have a local guy here in Boston who runs with his playback dual Electrovoice 30” drivers, loaded in large front chamber and vent them via former air-conditioning vents. I very much do not like the bass he has. I think it is possible to experiment with it and to make it much better but only AFTER the holes in the floor are made and the room is modified. There is no way to test it and to get prove of concept before cutting to floors. Also, I absolutely hate any vibration coming via floor, something that I call bone vibrations. With this configuration my listening chair will be converted to a vibrator. I was thinking along the same line, like place the woofers in basemen in concrete floor and to vent them in the room via a wholes but I do not find the idea elegant enough. I would be more attracted to something more radical, fundamentally radical.
