Re: Woofing through the ages


Size defiantly matters particularly with good companies like SVS or HSV but its not always about the size of the driver its also about the box or tube design baffles and bracing as well as how the enclosure is ported or sealed.
I have an A/D/S MS3 that is now almost 12 years old its only a 10" long excursion but has a great frequency response at 20 to 100Hz at 106db (yes it really does 20Hz and lower) it truly is as good as it looks. Its both a ported and a sealed unit (bandpass) and I am always amazed at how low it can go as my room is very large (15'x35') and it has no trouble filling it. For the time it was built when Home theater was just starting thats very impressive.
