I very much do not mind to try the biggest Khorn bass
section with my setup. I am trying to figure out how to do it with buying the damn
thing…
I need to say that the best midbass I hear in my life was
from Khorn, well not from Khorn itself but from Vitavox CN-191, which was UK replica
of Khorn. It was back in 2001-2002, if I am not mistaken. David Karmeli from Damoka Audio brought
to Vegas a par of vintage Germans Klangfilms that made everybody pee with
steam. I never had any warm feeling about David’s Klangfilms, however David also
brought to Vegas a pair of Vitavox CN-191 with 151 drivers. He did not show the Vitavox and there
was no room for them, so he dumped then it a corner of some kind of secondary
room and did not even connect them. One day, at evening, when the Morons are
gone he decided to plug them in. I was hanging around and did not care too much
what he was doing, and he was doing something for a while and the Vitavox sound
like shit. Then David informed us that he confused the polarity of the speakers
and now it “should be better”. The sound suddenly turned to “holly shit” status.
All of the sudden the speakers went alive and it was absolutely stunning. There
was problems that I would comment in that sound BUT the midbass was truly
beyond believe. Exactly after that events I went and bought a few very same
drivers as I did feel that it was absolutely the best midbass I even heard.
They were driven by Lamms ML2.0 I need to note that I heard CN-191 in a few
other settings, including the very same David’s Vitavox CN-191. Any other time
they sound like shit. I think David was bringing the same CN-191during consecutive years into different rooms with pretty much unsuccessful results. In THAT Las Vegas however, in THAT very lucky room, the
stars were aligned and it was truly midbass firework. So, taking about the
corner loading idea I do have a kind spot in my hard and the hope that I with
the same drivers will be able to get the same sound. How will it work in
context of my specific corners/ room I have no idea.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
