Can you make a simulation when the additional woofer is on the front baffle and close to the floor?
My two cents that this solves the floor bounce too (but not the power response).

Yep, this is, indeed, waj4all (a.k.a. Winston A. James, from the Asylum). Seems I’ve finally gotten ’round to leaving a comment here, after all.

And my main comment is that you’re obviously a brave soul to make so many of your trade-secrets available to all and sundry. However, in my opinion, this exposes another facet of the impeccable character others have alluded to, so far as I’ve seen. The willingness to share your ideas for the good of the hobby (even at risk of the possible detriment to the sales of your own products) is an indication of your integrity. and a fact which, I’m sure. will not escape your potential customers. This, combined with the quality of your innovative designs can only ensure continued success for you and your line; AudioKinesis.

Nevertheless, allow me to add my own two-cents worth in wishing you ALL the success you deserve!

Winston.

As you know, I have heard your Planetarium Beta system at one of your customer’s homes in my area. And it was a fabulous session with some my albums and some of his. Unexpectedly, the one that stood out the most to me at the time was Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers at Keystone 3 (Concord Jazz). I’ve had the pleasure of being in the audience at this club several times back in the day. On your Beta system, it was live as live gets and the detail was phenomenal. Instruments were life size as if you were seated front and center (at the volume we were listening) with space between and around them and the old man was very present behind the front line working the pants off of his young players! What a tour de force the last track is. The audience thought so, too, that was very clear. Yet the system was delicate and appropriately lifelike on a chamber sized group discreetly miked in a large room (pictured in the liner notes) with seemingly perfect placement, ambience and decay. That particular BIS recording I’ve heard many times on my various systems but never as convincingly real.

Your customer is my new new best friend rather he likes it or not. Fortunately for me, he has some excellent recordings, also.
