Dear Morricab,
I am serious, alright!
Ask anyone who has heard my system over the past few years, it will play organ notes so deep you will need the toilet to relieve yourself after the first few bars, assorted percussion instruments have both the sparkle, punch, depth, pressure and energy reminicent of the real thing, provided the recording is up to the job (try the Sylvio Gualda, Erato Recording, Percussion II, especially the Xenakis piece on side one).
I had my friends (Bjorn Borja and Jan Paus) from SEAS visiting Wednesday, and Bob Neill from Amherst was here Monday/Tuesday this week as well, they heard it, and so will you if you care to drop by.
It was done with a parallel SET 2A3 amplifiers as well with no more than 8 watts from the 1930's single plates.
Your Apogees have separate coil woofers?
The Scintilla never measured more than about 40 Hz when I had them and they needed a billion watts to give any impression of bass energy, at least as far as my definition of real bass goes, they died very quickly from metal fatigue when pressed hard with a big amplifier for a couple of hours.
The square area needed from panels to give any really low bass depth is considerable, and the Apogees just don't cut it here, I am sorry to say.
Sincerely,
Peter Qvortrup
