We believe our bass solution to have an excellent integration with the horns. most of our development was done in the bass, we tried almost all possible bass topologies to the point we got called the Myth Busters! Designed, redesigned, built, measured, listened, stashed away. Most bass solutions just didn't have the dynamics to match up to the horns, they would sound pale and disconnected, others would sound loud enough but would become ever present: Bass was coming out of them that no instrument was playing. Most just managed to mud up the sound, we also realized, a lot of people are used to this sound and would actually long for it when it was gone! Other solutions did great at high volume but would fall apart when the volume was lowered, neighbors didn't like these ones! Others were fast enough but didn't manage to match the punch in horns.
It is really hard to have a driver that can go up to 120 hz with tone, speed and dynamics, and that can still go down to 25 hz with authority. So either we used a huge alu cone subwoofer that was terribly slow at 80 hz already, or use fast punchy woofers that would go down only to 45 hz. On one test pair that is still sounding good, we went for both of these together, it is a huge monster with 3 amplifiers that require very careful setup to avoid cancellations form one set of woofers to the next.
With our bass solution we addressed all of these issues, we think it sounds good.
