Anyone else excited for this Borresen subwoofer?!!!


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

Borresen Subwoofer - Michael Borresen Interview

@m-db Yes, every last one. The phono stage is run balanced into a Lynx Hilo, a studio ADC/DAC/switcher/digital gain controller type thing. The Hilo is then connected to a DEQX Pre8 by an AES EBU cable. The DEQX is a new digital processor/preamp with a 4 way digital crossover, bass management, parametric EQ, room control and streaming via a Volumio processor. I use Qobuz. 

@phusis If you want accurate bass open baffle subwoofers are the last thing you want to do. You do need multiple drivers to get anywhere, but in a sealed system preferable arrayed as a line source. Line sources project power and minimize room interaction. The problem as always with subwoofers is putting the drivers into enclosures that are not musical instruments.

 

The Rythmik Audio plate amps include a ’Delay/Phase" control, providing continuously-variable adjustment of from zero milliseconds delay / zero degrees phase rotation up to 16 milliseconds delay / 180 degrees phase rotation. Such a control makes aligning a sub with a loudspeaker far easier than moving the sub physically. Increasing the amount of time delay / phase rotation does exactly the same thing as does physically moving the sub further away from the loudspeaker. So you can find a good location for a sub in terms of room modes, then use the delay/phase control to align the outputs of the sub and loudspeaker.

 

They actually look interesting. Using 8” drivers gives them the speed to maybe work with planar speakers.  But the price will be a big factor for many buyers. I’ll be looking when they come out.

@deep_333 Not at all! Many units out there give you the ability to adjust delay. The Aussies call it launch time. These include units by DEQX, Anthem, MiniDSP and Trinnov. It is an absolute necessity for sub integration.

@mijostyn , Most of these brands you cited are used by the multichannel guys and the ones who tinker with pro hardware primarily (no stranger to those). I was referring to more purist brands like, say..Esoteric, D’Agostino, Denafrips, Luxman, Schiit, etc who have a inability to provide an independent channel delay on their dacs/linestage or whatever... to delay any channel by how much ever the hell i want. They are so pure that everything will get executed magically for the guys who bought it apparently.
