I would be very much interested in hearing about the Velodyne subwoofer
mentioned in the description of Gary Gibson system. Is it a dual
stereo subwoofer or a central mono one?
I have heard several experiments of ELS63
with subwoofers and I was not fully pleased. The best I heard was
with a pair of Janis subwoofers, but unhappily the quality of
the system was spoiled by a poor quality active crossover. (It was
an old model and it didn't match the valve preamplifer and amplifier
with which was being used).
If some one has experience or information of home building subwoofers
and matching active crossovers for Quad ELS63 I would be quite
pleased to hear about. I own a pair of these electrostatics and,
in spite of conflicting opinions about that matter, feel that
they need some help in the bass. However, after hearing for
some brief moments to a friend Roland Research Model 5 driving
them, may be it is the Audio Research D70 II that needs some
help!
