I had the Snell Type A V5 system. It was fun to bring a newbie into the listening seat and hit them with deep percussion. (18 inch subs) Even their wife downstairs would jump when the walls rattled!
Speakers with deep/powerful bass
I used to have a system with large speakers. Each speaker had two 12" woofers. When I would play Hard as a Rock from the AC-DC BallBreaker CD there was a moment at 35 seconds into the song when it felt like someone was jumping on the floor behind me. This would only happen if my JPS Labs Golden Flutes were looped into the system, and it was playing very loud. Without the Golden Flutes it didn't happen. It was a truly frightening experience the first time it happened, because I was home alone. Has anyone else had anything like this occur?

As I read through the responses the talk turned to only what the bass could or was doing and nothing about the overall sound quality of the speaker. With that in mind I will put up my old Bose 901’s running through my Sansui 7070 receiver. I was able to knock trinkets off the shelf of my neighbors home. Take sound quality out of the mix they are the best party speaker made. |
As I understand it, the JPS Labs Flutes were a low frequency filter that allowed lower frequencies access to the speakers woofers likely bypassing some aspect of the the crossover? If memory serves me the Flutes required another long speaker cable run which became the impetus for the JPS Labs Cable business? Did running the Flutes do any damage to those woofers?
Unknowingly, my first Gene Cerwinski product was the L-187 driver used in Russ Alee's acoustic Control 360/361 electric Bass amplifier. Shortly after I purchased my first stand alone solid state amplifier the Cerwin-Vega A-1800 and a B-36 bin for the PA all from Leo's Music on College Ave. in Oakland. |
