justin_tx_16 Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I am listening to the Alicia Key's cd, The Life has some great bass in it. We all know Diva Dance is a great song, but what else out there can leave even a high end subwoofer ghasping for air? is there such a thing? lets find out...

kenratboy Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 The movie sucked, but the E.T. Soundtrack's 1st and 2nd songs have GREAT, deep, loud bass. Most electronic music, the stuff I like, has great bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classical music, specially when a pipe organ is involved, try Bach for this. On newer music Enya have several recordings with lower 30's and some high 20's (Hz), try also Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, John Serrie, Skinny Puppy or Laurie Anderson.

TheEAR Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Manuel, Now a large pipe organ is THE test for any serious sub,it separates the wannabe toys from real hard core subs. So far only the Aerial and SVS Ultras gave me a real deal rendition of the glorious instrument. The HGS18 gives me a hint...not near the 16Hz power,the Revel 15 is ah not glorious below 20Hz and the Sunfire Signature starts to say 20Hz PLEASE. The Aerial is one heck of a performer,and the SVS Ultras are bargains. Yeah some Enya records do have sub sonic bass,in the 20Hz region!Impressive,the type of traquil sub sonic hypnotic bass.Very nice All the electronica is mostly about above 40Hz boom boom.Most subs sound good,with pipe organs most subs say HELP.

TheEAR Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Pomps & Pipes from Reference Recordings AMAZING Track four will rip the voice coil from the cone,even the SVS Ultra say ADD MORE ULTRAS THEEAR This track has abyss sub bass with awesome power,all the electrocic pseudo bass can hide. No sub I tested so far can do full justic to track four,I would need a good 4 Aerials or four SVS SS to play this one like I would like.

kenratboy Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 TheEAR: As I am a electronic fan, I will have to respectfully disagree with you about 40Hz "boom." I have a spectrum analyzer on my computer and my Autechre and to a lesser extent, Boards of Canada recordings have tracks that go into the 10's and 20's Hz. There is one song, a little ambiant piece, that has a 18-22Hz RUMBLE that makes it feel like you are at the ocean with waves coming in. This is the ONLY song I have ever heard that has special effects. This would be 100% LOST on a non-subwoofer system. Other songs try to set an "industrial" atmosphere or 90's rap (though it is NOT rap in any shape or form, hell, there is NO singing in 1/2 my CD's) by placing distorted, deep bass in the tracks that give my dual 15"'s a workout at a modest volume level, it also builds a good atmosphere and keeps you from relaxing. An exploding bass sound in the middle of a peaceful track can scare you if you are not ready for it. I love to crank it, and put my remotes where I cannot turn it down . Yes, a lot of the club and dance stuff is synthesised kick drums and MMMMMMMM's in it. But the stuff I lesten to is done 90-100% on a computer and the guys, especially Autechre, play with your system by putting songs on that mess with your mind and your systems limits. Thats one reason I like it. Its wierd, like me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenratboy Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 What is the Jurrasic Park test disc? Is it CD or DVD? What sort of music's, Jurrasic Park music, or others? THANX! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Ken, Yes some electronica has very deep sub bass,and does make my room(s) shake like there was an earthqake,I heard some pieces with below 20Hz bass! Its simply the organs real lifelike power that is so impressive,you should listen to Pomps & Pipes ...track number four at realistic volume.If your subs are solid (I mean mo more than -5dB at 16Hz from reference at 50Hz then you will hear the full force). With the Aerial I get some chills I dont get from any other sub,I would like to add a second Aerial but I doubt I will find it second hand again and besides they cost MUCHO $. I need to strat a fund and get the cash to buy at least another Aerial.The Aerial is clean,servo control clean and with better dynamics.

kenratboy Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 EAR: What are some good CD's or DVD's that have some good organ tunes on them? I don't dare to venture into that would without some guidence. If you can give the some names of some CD/DVD I can buy online, I would be very grateful. Aerial fund? You could get a butt-load of subs and go on tour, blow some skylights out of a few convention center, you know, just some good fun! I could see a 20 foot wall of Sunfire's and Velodyne's!

Of course, now that I know there are "lower subs" out there... what I want to do is to hear it again with a couple of SVS Ultras...

TheEAR Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Ken, Err I dont have any muisc on DVD's,yet.I can recomend Reference Recordings Pomps & Pipes.Its a very high quality recording to show off your system ability to portray space and sub bass capabilities. I have to dig in my two boxes,as I am doing some heavy renovations(passing wires and adding two 20AMP outlets,changing receptacles,painting too) in my large audio room and most of my Cd's are boxed up.I have at least a dozen of pipe organ CD's some even better.Its tI used to bring this CD to high end shops to test subs,that is why it stands out. These days I listen to my PC speakers most of the time TheEAR(s) Now theears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi EAR: Is this the right CD? Click the link to see the cover: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000159M.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg It is called Pomp & Pipes, right? Thanks, I will have to get it.

boa12 Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 r, that's a hdcd (high definition cd). won't work unless u have an hdcd decoder on either your player or processor. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 No, it isn't a HDCD. It was made in 1994 and they just put it on there to look cool. I have other old, pre-(real)HDCD's that have HDCD on them just for looks. Thanks for pointing it out, but some old CD's say HDCD on them, but are not. Thanks!
