[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 316880, member: 547749"] Remember, design issues vs. fundamental properties... [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG]We really can't draw any conclusions about 'rotary servo subwoofers' as a whole, because the only rotary servo subwoofer ever to hit the market was the Cyclone. So how can you draw conclusions about the technology as a whole, based on the design and performance of one specific model and example? You can't, realistically, any more than you could comment on the technology and capabilities of 'voice coil subwoofers' on the whole, based on the design and performance of say... looking [I]only[/I] at the MTX Thunder 8000. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] There are all sorts of factors to tweak - the same factors, in fact, as voice coil powered subwoofers. There's an analogous part on the Cyclone to literally every part on a traditional loudspeaker. And it was very expensive, when it first came out... I don't know where you gather that it was inexpensive - $1200 worth of expensive, in fact. Granted the prices dropped over the years, but is that due to reduced cost of production, or because they were finding it hard to market to the audiophile marketplace, and even more difficult to market to the less-experienced (but greater in mass) common audio marketplace, forcing them to cut into profits? Eventually, it was discontinued - I'd say that's virtually proof of the latter. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] I'd still hardly call it an inexpensive driver, they still fetch hundreds of dollars, used.
