Sarang enthusiast Registered: 09/07/10 Posts: 31 Loc: NY	Just wondering if the subwoofers are also wedged internally to counter the resonance?? _________________________ There are times when you can afford .......... but cannot buy!!

Adrian axiomite Registered: 12/27/08 Posts: 6417 Loc: It's all about the location.	The new proportions look much better on the latest prototype VP160, imo. _________________________ A person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still.

Amie connoisseur Registered: 02/06/02 Posts: 1611	Sarang, Steve tells me I'm not understanding your question so I had better clarify . . . are you asking if the subs have bracing, or if they have the same wedge shape as the bookshelf, floorstanding and center channel speakers? _________________________ Amie Colquhoun Axiom Audio

Sarang enthusiast Registered: 09/07/10 Posts: 31 Loc: NY	Amie, what I meant to ask was that contrary to the wedge shape of the floorstanders, center channels and bookshelf speakers, axiom subwoofers do not have anti-standing wave enclosure design (wedge shape) to counter the resonances. Are the resonances eliminated by some other means in the subwoofers? _________________________ There are times when you can afford .......... but cannot buy!!

tomtuttle axiomite Registered: 06/20/03 Posts: 7682 Loc: Tacoma	Sarang, the EP600 and EP800 DO have the ASW cabinets. I see what you mean about the others, though. _________________________ We are a whole community of "that guy" - StPatGuy

Murph axiomite Registered: 10/05/06 Posts: 6202 Loc: PEI, Canada	My guess is, like a good bran muffin, the LF just passes right through it. No shaping necessary. The box is sized to control air pressure. _________________________ I'm Riffing. People usually stop me when I'm riffing. Or carry on without me. That's also an option.

Ian President aficionado Registered: 03/13/01 Posts: 682	Sarang, Since the subwoofers are only producing very long wave lengths it mitigates the need for the anti-symmetrical cabinet design. There could be aesthetic reasons for following the same design though. _________________________ Ian Colquhoun President & Chief Engineer

Please know that I am always smiling when I do it. Ha! "You people" make me laugh. Roh-rooh . . . how do I unban someone? Apologies to Fred! Oh sure, ban a guy while he's off for dental surgery. No Bob, I did not have the surgery at Canadian tire after drinking 4 Timmies as anesthetics. _________________________ Fred ------- Blujays1: Spending Fred's money one bottle at a time, no two...
