Last night I did an interesting experiment. I took the bass towers,
just 4 driver per side, crossed them at 90Hz, line-level and drove them not
with the Milq’s bass channel but with SS Yamaha B2. I use it with the tube crossover
that I used for ULF. I figure out that it has enough power and gain to drive my
towers to whatever I need. I found a good flat response via RTA and sat to
listen it. Good. That was juts the most revolting thing that I hear for a
while. As much as driving the towers by
Milq’s LF channel made it to sound nice as much driving it by SS direct-coupled
made to sound horrendous. The sound of tower juts did not communicate in any
way of form with the horns and it was like 4 laser beams shooting from 4
separate locations. I never seen anything like this. The bass-wise it was enough
but there was no size or space of any kind and it was just scare. I want to stress it that it was so bad the I
GOT SCARED and turned the playback off.
I did not want even to think WHY it was. It was so frightening.
Might be if I add more of the driver to the towers, like 4
more then I will be able to drive it with Milq but it will be with 10 driver
per side a but bulky configuration. With a dedicated midbass in the sealed
boxes, no matter how not perfect it was but driving from Milq it perfectly “talks”
to the horns and it gives an imagine to die for. I really would like to have a dedicated
midbass. A proper midbass is to a degree what defines a high-end audio in my
view and it is hard to get. Well, will see where the life will land me in my
midbass journey…
