Something about The Loudspeakers that shoppers have likely noticed is that the original design electrically splits the 18” woofer from the MF, HF and UHF drivers.  And, just to be clear, there is sound thinking based on lots of experience behind this design. It takes lots of power to get deep, Musical bass at concert levels from a loudspeaker, and if there is a work-around here, I have not heard it yet. To be clear, I am not talking about sound effects or Mobile Sound Club systems, but I am talking about serious Music via home systems. Troels saw/heard the wisdom of Hypex for LF, to allow for better sounding amps for the other drivers. And anyone who goes another direction (as I have done) will want to think it through carefully (as I have done) before committing funds and effort. I am still playing with my Loudspeakers, but another thing worth thinking about is that a woofer that does 200 Hz Musically won’t be doing Musical 18Hz at the same time. Based on things I read, it looks like plenty of vocal audio people think “good bass” means prominent bass, just like “good HF” means lots of details and “air”. I think I will not get on my soapbox but I will answer questions about this if/as they come up. Meanwhile, 18” woofer notwithstanding. The Loudspeakers have nothing to do with prominent bass or sound effects but everything to do with the unaffected revelation of the Music that’s in the recording, at least this is true of my version. I will say I would not be happy if I found myself mentally parsing the Music as I listened to it. I am OK with the compromises embodied in The Loudspeakers (my version, anyway) because they have a very broad range of Musical expression that allows me full access to my Music Library.>>
