Adding a subwoofer should not shake the walls. It should not vibrate your furniture. It should simply add depth and intensity to the music. When there are sections with deep bass, the bass should create shockwaves that you feel but don't hear. The sounds you hear of things rattling in your house is not from the bass. It is from the resonances (distortions) that cheap subwoofer amplifiers put out.
It has two vertically stacked eight inch drivers mounted on a narrow profile baffle that have as much effective extreme low end output as anything I've heard.
It makes no mention of the amp technology except to say "highly efficient amp". This leads me to believe that they are indeed using digital amps. I think digital amps are perfect for bass.
P.S. Nathan, about that Norh quote on subs....I find it very peculiar when a manufacturer makes claims like that. They are basically stating that a sub that goes below 30hz (when things start to shake), is not a good sub. So there you have it people, the Adire Tumult and Tempest are bad subs from that point of view
Anyway, he reluctantly agreed to try the Earthquake, because he was very pleased the the Earthquake sub he recently bought, which he combined with 2 Bag End subs he already had. Man, the bass is so low that you feel it more than hear it. It was a great cure for my constipation. He also was influenced by some very positive reviews of the amp in AudioReview and by Richard Hardesty of Widescreen Review.QuoteAre the Earthquake Sub and the 2 Bag End subs of this test, (which in that review you say "DID" produce Low Bass you could "feel more than hear"), the same ones your talking about now, that currently cannot produce this same property?I'm confused Regards, John Casler VMPS LA CA USASUMMIT Audio Video310-446-0138800-320-6884 (order desk)bioforce.inc@gte.nethttp://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=systems;system=72http://my.register.com/summitaudiovideo.com/index.html
