Two of those. Each in their own 2x2x4 box. Slot port tuned to 18hz. Powered by a Rotel RB-990bx. Crossed at about 35hz.

You got any pics of that? Are those woofers that good? They're sure pricey to me.

William Orbit - My Oracle Lives Uptown

" " - Time to Get Wise

William Orbit and Beth Orton - Water From a Vine Leaf

All of these played moderately should give a real good idea of what the inside of your speaker cabinets smell like as a lot of air is going to be exchanged.

Thanks for that tip! I got a Beth Orten CD in a player I bought, and I liked it immediately. Now I can go find this one.

If you can find the 2-CD set "Pass in Time" that has a good variety of her work, lotta good music including "Water From a Vine Leaf" and her probably biggest hit "Don't Wanna Know About Evil" which is an excellent system exerciser.

Paris Train is the cut that got me. Great use of vibrato and the resonance of her voice. A great recording as well. Listening to it now

Say what you will about it, but anything from sunn O))) will certainly test your speakers lower end
