Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Subwoofer Servo Technology

I know, let's have idiotic fights about everything!


Geez, people, Peter's just trying to make a suggestion.

Peter, everybody's just protecting the brand they love and our hosts.

Again, I hate everyone this week.

I would like to see some facts to back up the claims, that's all.

Peterb, you've been asked to provide technical details, like TomTuttle did a little bit ago.

As I've said a few times already too, you wanted to start a technical discussion, or so your post on 08/08/06 at 8:19am central time stated, yet you haven't provided any technical facts. PLEASE do, and I WANT to get a good discussion going here.

My request for technical data is not an insult to you, or some bash of the technology, so please stop taking it that way and just shoot some facts and data at us and we can get past this bickering.

That's okay, Ken. We hate you this week, too.

I read most of the thread at AVS, and actually spent a fair amount of time digesting the info at Rythmik. I thought the AVS thread was the usual train-wreck and that the Rythmik stuff was pretty compelling, in that "our products have cool technology - buy them" kind of way. Seriously, I can see that the theory behind active-servo subwoofer design is seductive. Heck, by the time I got done, I was ready to buy/build a sealed box sub just to see for myself (if I had the money, that is). I can see how a discussion of the various theories, philosophies and approaches to reproducing sonic and sub-sonic content could be interesting.

And I think the right forum for that is AVS. While there are several Axiom board regulars who are armed for the science involved, our hosts have already succinctly explained their philosophy and approach. I mean, why belabor it here? The phrase "asked and answered" comes to mind.

Those of you that are interested should check out the AVS thread and the Rythmikaudio site. Pretty cool stuff, most of which clearly dwells upon the scientific theories (which are admittedly beyond my level of expertise) rather than the demonstrable real-world impacts on my personal listening environment.

You academics go have a ball with this. I'm going to go enjoy some music instead.

Nicely done Tom.

Thanks, Dave. Have you started the Halloween installation yet?

What's the plan for this year?

For this year the plan is to hijack some Axiom threads

Seriously, not much this year other than some needed maintenance and replacing some of the lighting. Not much as October we are going to FL for 2 weeks. Maybe I'll have time to make another tombstone.

For 2007 I am hoping to add something new, but haven't determined exactly what- trying to brainstorm some great new ideas.

In the world of speakers, Axioms are sui generis. That tidbit of knowledge is not a priori, but rather a posteriori.

You need to add your old Tivo Avatar to the archive in the Water Cooler.
