If there is enough space for one exciter (preferably two because of the DB's size) on the bridge, and I think there is, then I know no reason not to do this except that it might be more efficient to place them directly on the top. You can return primeVibe within 30 days if not satisfied...

Yes. Again, Link Removed is pertinent. With all due respect, by comparison Tunebug is a toy and priced like what it is (as are most things, in the end). It makes much less power, has standard magnets rather than neodymium, its frequency response is far narrower, and it certainly is not...

Every single electro-mechanical transducer for sale in the world, that generates lower SPL not in contact with a solid (employed like a normal speaker), and higher SPL when its diaphragm contacts a solid, is licensed by HiWave Technologies (previously NXT...their last known count was 375...

Link Removed will explain.

Not what I would expect...but as another member stated earlier, I smell what you're cooking!

Our elfish friend pokes his head from the lab or production line :hyper:...you're quote is forgiven, but it's a good thing you apologized!:)

Ditto...Duke does something (I know but don't want to state it publicy for confidentiality) with the way the two drivers interact that absolutely no one else does in the MI world (AFAIK).

We perceived absolutely linear fundamental tone power down to Low B. IIRC a maximum of one of my friend's 7-8 basses is a 4-string, the remainder are all 5-string (some low B, most high A). IIRC Duke said the slow rollout starts around 50 Hz, but don't quote me (come in Duke!). IOW low B is...

What's "semi-para?" I suppose it has some but not all the tuning features of Parametric.

As someone with feet in the world of music, recording, and high-end audio: big dittos all. Surprised to read PM Eq is not relatively ubiquitous with MI amps. How many bands do you consider minimum? How many bands do you consider ideal? It's obviously much more hassle to carry a separate...

I heard the original Tc (no rear tweeter) and latest AF/Tc, both times with the Acoustic Image Clarus head. There was not an ounce of looseness anywhere throughout the range in either audition. As reported earlier, such was the AF/Tc's excellence that the owner of a highly regarded bass combo...

Michael I feel your joy. The following is not to diminish the fine, razor-edge balancing act Duke performed in determining the many interrelated parameters related to TC's performance in the bass range...I'm only estimating the following based on your own words, and as anyone knows who has...

At age 57 it's fun to still have new and enlightening listening experiences. Over the years I've heard electrostatic speakers many times. A friend's ancient Acoustat 3 panels sounded very good. Another acquaintance about 20 years ago had a pair of huge Sound Labs with electrostatic sub...

Exactly my point. My music interest started with a tube table top radio (AM only IIRC), then a tube portable TT w/ detachable speakers around the same time my dear parents bought my first guitar, then personal synthesizer studies with Patrick Gleeson (taught Herbie Hancock...I studied at...

Looking at the TC on the floor, not even 2' high, my inner audiophile wanted it higher. So Duke lifted it higher where it might be used for stereo monitors. Interestingly, the change seemed to be only less bass and slightly more clarity, but I may have preferred it on the floor. Probably for...
