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!!

Amie connoisseur Registered: 02/06/02 Posts: 1620	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!!

Murph axiomite Registered: 10/05/06 Posts: 6884 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. _________________________ With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Ian President aficionado Registered: 03/13/01 Posts: 818	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
