RE: Sure

I've heard both the Roger Russel speaker and the Scaena. The Russel is superb.

So are the Scaenas although I suspect the best bass came from the original bass speaker design, not the later versions. The partners had another partner they stopped listening to and changed the bass design because they didn't understand how it worked. It looked conventional but wasn't.

The best, most impressive bass I ever heard was at Harry Pearson's house with a pair of Scaenas with I think 3 15" woofers of the original design. Harry was playing a cut from a movie Lost World that had a real volcano included that he said went down to 16 Hz. The bas was awesome and tight as can be. It was so strong that Harry's and the designer's eyes were round like saucers as if the woofers were going to be launched into the room. They weren't. I've heard the recording on other large systems that supposedly went below 20 Hz and it wasn't even close.
