Pure Low GR -- Infrasonic Panel

[treitz3]

Symbolico...I believe it is the, "Make us stronger" track. Now, this is off of memory, so please forgive me if I am incorrect. Great track!

What's that tune please? It does sound phenomenal.

Just listened to your clip…sounds phenomenal. Would have to go back to compare properly. From memory…the perceived space and separation in treble is better. Despite how hard hitting the bass is…and I know this track…your system positively IS massively hard hitting…I “remembered?” Your earlier recording being ever so slightly more? But truly ever so slightly.

Right after the words about “rain falling taking away the sun” in your other video I thought I recalled the metronomic beat being harder hitting than here but a smidgen.

While not subsonic, I wonder if (if my memory is even correct) the Torus or your setup was doing something down below that this beat was calling for…which is slightly different than how the PureLow is doing it?

I felt like this new version is more cleaned up, the other weightier but perhaps less clean?

But we are taking top single digit percentile performance for this track. 99% percentile either way! Enjoy and thanks for taking the recording…will go back to find the other one.

Hi Todd,

Went back to listen to the earlier recording from your system of this identical track. It was not difficult once hearing it (after several months) next to the new recording with the PureLows now in place.

Overall, your new recording wins. The new with PureLow has even more detail, completely natural…upset as well as bottom end punch.

I also think my recollection of greater slam on original is because the newer ones gives naturalness and clarity to the upper registers which raises the balancing point of the system slightly.

Bass whack to bass whack the systems sound remarkably the same in the bass. Fantastic!

Lloyd, thank you. I appreciate the kind comments. It is nice to know that some of the bass information is coming through on the video. However, there is just now way the video can convey the sense of pure power that exists. Just so you are aware, the other video I recorded of this song over a year ago did not have the Torus.

I will start working on the integration with the Trio directly in a week or two. It will be interesting as I will be able to toggle between Spacehorn only, Pure Low Only and Spacehorn + Purelow.

I must admit these sound very intriguing - would be very interesting to hear these matched to a set of panel speakers such as Diptyque or the smaller Alsyvox. If they match well, it would make a much better value proposition than the larger Alsyvox etc.

They were originally designed to mate with the Quad ESLs. So matching it with any panel speaker should not be a problem at all. The Pure Low are relatively easy to integrate as far as subwoofers go but you still have to do the work.

I don't mind doing the work - I've spent many hours tuning in my Torus using miniDSP and some class-D amps to much better effect than the WB Torus amps!

Sorry, I did not mean you still have to do the work. I am certain you have and will. It was more the universal "you". There are some who seem to think all of this stuff is just plug and play. No matter how good a speaker or subwoofer is there is still the necessary due diligence.

Wow...that sounds like an amazing next chapter in this. Very much look forward to that one! From a consumer standpoint, I think we have covered this, but because it is important and I suspect more people are starting to follow this one...what do you make of risk of repairs...as well as the number of repair people who could fix this?

A cone sub is probably straightforward...particularly a passive one. Less likely to break and there are many, many more people who can fix it. A panel by contrast is a more unique tech, with fewer people who can fix (and presumably far fewer parts available)...plus it is about whether one can find someone locally who can without having to ship it back to the manufacturer.

Your guidance on how you think about the PureLow in this more practical regard for a prospective owner is appreciated.
