I am usually not a big fun of somebody refer to eBay Items and I myself do it very seldom. Still, here I am as I think it is an interesting deal for someone. There is a guy out there that is damping a few of Aura RS-8.1 bass modules.

The Aura
1808 had free air resonance at 24Hz and required enormous sealed
enclosure of 14-16 cu feet. Wilson Audio used the Aura 1808 in their
unfortunately-ported XS subwoofers and soaked from their relatively
small enclosure an extra 19dB...

[quote user="noviygera"]I thought I'd let you know that I ordered four of those Aura subs. Thanks for the advice, if I receive them (I hope so), I will install them into my new listening room. This will take a while because I still have a few mon...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] In the case of a normal ranch style home (one level, no basement) out in the burbs, the attic is wasted anyway; you could put it to use, and if necessary, modify the roof, letting the drivers live up under decorative ...

I agree i have been making mistakes even costly ones. I had taken the biamping route with cary and krell on B&W , and that was the purpose of getting both the amps, to get the best out of both ,,,,,,it turned out mixing oil and water,,,,,the most...

Ok, my carpenter brought today two large manifolds for 4 Aura
drivers and this week will be installing them. Can’t wait how it will end up sounding......

I realized you meant Midbass when you wrote MD. I agree that letting the midbass horn run full range on the bottom is not a good idea. My point was try the bass channel (Aura 1808) run much higher and share the same crossover as the midbass when cros...

ScottL,It looks like the two pics you posted are of different systems, the first being slot loaded PP, and the second (full-system) showing a "traditional" IB. You also seem to be confirming my intuitive hunch of potential sound benefits and horn ma...

There is absolutely no judgement on my side if you read carefully. Omnigone can be a stellar performer, as well as TKD custom switches which you can have only if you suck the dick of the owner, and it affects me as much as an alien fart on andromeda....

I had a similar setup with an IB subwoofer, 2x18" woofers, behind the listening area -- also time aligned. It's works ok. But it will excite the entire house structure if you play loud -- you can be sure. Everyone will feel it. But that's not the iss...

Yes, insane amounts of money are wasted on "exotic" cabinet materials and construction methods, for instance. And the misguided idea of keeping it one narrow stack per channel does, literally, compromise the sound, as does the "technically correct" ...

One other nice thing about floor or ceiling-mounting the lower-bass horns is that you wouldn't need such a huge living room; the space would be easier to load (sonically), and you'd have a much easier time finding an appropriate house. Romy wrote :"....

It is a very strange feeling, but I really feel how this entire idea should sound. I mean the 500W SET of the REAL SET driving a 12-14 cubic feet of sealed enclosure loaded with North Leviathan Driver.
In past when I played with SETs driving Aura 1...

I was wondering: if I lose my midbass and will use for now
my bass town to do midbass then how can I introduce lower octave channel of I
want to make a room civilized? For instance if I go do 2-4 Aura drivers on
transition slope then I will end up...

[quote user="JLH"]Foolishness is too soft a word to describe the unspeakable garbage the Magico Ultimate is. They have mis-matched impedance drivers, improperly sized horns for the drivers, and made everything from metal. Then they go on an attempt t...

I am not a person who understands a lot about tuners. I understand a lot about sound and in the tuner world I am just a user of the things. If I need comprehension of the things I ask questions, I have very limited ability to extrapolate the sound of...

Congratulations! I wish the best for you and your family in this new move.
The little apartment you had downtown sounded phenomenal with the arrays doing bass. Maybe just double up on those? Taking the infra bass from them will let them breat...

Here is an excellent attic solution that will even allow for output to 1 Hz:

I've been thinking about trying the Klipsch Jubilee. The idea I have is to replace my bass channel (Aura 1808 in reflex box) together with midbass channel (Funktion One F115) with a single Klipsch Jubilee channel. Of course I'm talking about stereo p...

A few points I would like to make. I do not know if the Northcreek dropped resonance by adding mass or by softening suspension. I hope they leave the cone along and softer the suspension of the driver instead off adding mass. Sure it would reduce pow...

Rony, yes, if I have somebody who would do for me all "implementation" work then I wound never do audio in the format I have been doing it for the last 6 years. I would rather just pay money to the people then juts USE audio instead of “digging”...

I want to share what I feel is a good application of an injection channel, as introduced by Romy. But this is different and also useful and i can tell you it works and very well. Of course, I do not recommend to use this application in the same exact...

ULF is a consent not implementation.
I did experimented ULF based upon aura 18 in past and now I have the line-array
with 10” ScanSpeeks. The ULF is something that you should not be able to hear without
rest of the system. With my current ULF when...

As I was saying: who the hell need a headphone setup if it does not sound as good as the speakers setup? So it is the way in which I approach the headphone sound. The headphones intrinsically have problem with MF and “wrong bass”. There are ways to d...

Congratulations, Romy, I think you just re-invented the ISOBARIK loudspeaker.
Although, Linn's Isobarik implementation of two drivers moving in parallel separated in a small chamber which would be nearly in constant volume (and pressure) couldn...
