I also love pipe organ music and have been listening to many different subwoofers over
many years (no conventional sub can reproduce the power and feel of the real thing.) For the past 3 years I have been using a rotary subwoofer and can say that the power, feel, and
realism is now there. I agree with getting the proper balance with the entire bass range.
Boosting the bass to achieve the very low end is not the way to go (distortion and bass
that is out of proportion and loss of definition) "that never sounds real". Also using
Magneplanar Tympani IV bass panels provides the best mid to low bass that completely
matches the rotary subwoofers fantastic transient response and the combination is very
convincing. Room acoustics plays an enormous role in getting proper balance with
bass and without many bass traps can not be fully achieved. Getting bass to dissipate
quickly ( a uniform RT-60 to very low frequencies is needed) and this requires 'many' bass
traps. The result of all of this is bass that is believable and never sounds overwhelming (does not overload the room.)
