Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!!


It seems quite unique...(as one might expect from Michael B).

Borresen Subwoofer - Michael Borresen Interview

OK thx was watching the YT videos about the Borenson subs and learning

"this subwoofer design is not new or unique to Borresen..this is RiPol sub. Already Voxative, Modal Acoustics and SoundKaos make RiPol sub. This was a patented design whose patent was given away and hence these companies can build one." 

One VERY disturbing discussed fact ( in another YT video ) is the speaker cabinets are made in China and of course the issue of Uigher slave labor is an issue . Why we do not have EV cars batteries fr there In USA  but perhaps more germain,  is they are NOT even  making them yet ( the subwoofers ! ) and have no specs avail.
( good reason why i could find no price !  LOL )  

not sure I understand ( or agree) that there is some real advantage to their concept and these are more of the typical nigh end nose bleed speakers $5K-11k $ for the speakers the subs price  prob are not too far behind that is absurd silly $ IF this is the BEST sub how close can we get for less , the least $ 
saying there is any real advantage to velocity over pressure in bass delivery  of a room needs to be explained further to me please ? fast bass? 
when people who have/ had  old velodyne servo subs are dismissive of servo subs are they forgetting or ignoring that there has been progress? is your dated experience relevant ? 
dipole , bipole not a new idea &  vandersteen used 3, 10" in a downfiring sub 
very few will ever buy these Borreson so largely irrelevant but we could make DIY kit copy if they really work . 
I recently heard Allison acoustics years ago built a great subwoofer using their 8" woofers in a push-pull arrangement kind of like the AL speakers but cannot find any pictures -maybe it never got beyond prototype ? 
i imagine I would get most of that Borrenson sub performance  w/ some GR research open baffle servo subs DIY kits  single double or triple and possibly affordable .as the enclosures are the problem is it better to just have none ? or minimal   . 

 

@quickjack1234 Check out Magico's Titan subwoofer, then check out Martin Logan's Balanced Force 212 and 210. These three are the best commercial subs out there. They all still need a proper active crossover.

oh i agree we should use all the control we can/ want to NO reason not to! audioholics talked about delay in that 1 hr + YT video
LOL NO the magico is $33K ! no and way !
Martin Logan’s Balanced Force 212 and 210.=$3.5K and 4.5K each !
yea they should be good !

but i bet the dual gr open baffle servo sub DIY flat pack kit @  $1.7 K is just as good or better.
it’s so simple just about any guy should be able to glue and clamp one together .
apparently the open baffle sounds really good , best and you just need enough power to deal w/ any supposed inefficiency of the design the 600W plate amp supplies that .

i am watching/ watched all these.

my experimentation w/ the old 8" Allison acoustic sealed sub woofer push -pull design ( like they used in their AL series speakers ) will be interesting apparently they made version w/ twin 18" drivers as a commercial product it worked VERY well, just did not sell ! trying to get the drawings, ,plans ex employees remember them !
the only way to do that would be DIY
retail sale , built ready to use it would be megabucks ( like many of the subs mentioned )
