single driver with bass...????


AuGoNeRs,
since I am now happy and feel complete with my reference system with the avantgarde Uno.Currently I am toying around with single driver system to see what the fuss is all about.My first single driver is the Omega Grande 6 that stereophile and a few other reviewers was raving about.I was so disappointed with the bottom end when listening to jazz..is this all the bass that single driver can put out?How can i improve the bottom end? the rest of my system are cd+dac with the supratek pre-amp and i ve tried it with welborne 300B mono,monarchy sm70 pro,dynakit and my wavac amplifier...please advice.thanks

Check out the JLM/2 from Carolina Audio. Not sure how they'll do with your amps, but I've heard them with some <30wpc amps and was really impressed with their bass response...
Try the Hammer Dynamics Super-12 speaker kit. They feature custom 12" Emminence single-drivers with a supertweeter crossed in above 10kHz. The kit includes all the crossover parts needed, too - everything except the easily built cabinet.

I own a pair and it is the best, unassisted, bass I have heard from a single driver system. They pack punch and depth to 45Hz.

My 6 foot tall Cain & Cain I-Bens go as low(at 15x the cost), but not with the same punch. But, I use a pair of passive C&C Bailey subs to get the rest.

Don't let the price fool anyone, the Hammers are really something special. Especially, after doing all the simple mods listed on the old Single Driver Website Super-12 Tweaks page. Some simple x-over mods and it becomes a bigtime contender in the under $2k single-driver field. Luckily, the kits come stock with Solen Hepta-Litz inductors, a big part of the x-over upgrade.
Howdy Pete,

I finally let go of your Twins and AR Complete a few motnhs back. They got relagated to 3rd system status in the bedroom that never really got used.

Did you get the FT-1600? Your A'gon system still shows the MMG's. The specs on that speaker look great.
