Subwoofer...fan?

Ummmm.... Phoenix gold cyclone????? Buy them for 300 bucks, same thing. Why is everyone so amazed with this thing, the design has been around for a long time. again PG! But fan noise? Come on if it cost $13K they could at least figure out a way to stop the fan noise, and maybe give you an amp or something.

Its a bit on the expensive side.

It would be cool in a theater, IMAX preferably

Same general *concept*, but totally different implementation. The Cyclone is no where near similar to this.

Well, it seems like it would be all good and everything, but for that price it seems like a very small corner of the HT market would be buying that thing...

Well, in an arena where companies can stay afloat by selling $300,000 amps and $100,000 electrostats, $12,900 for a subwoofer that can do what this one supposedly can do isn't horribly unreasonable.

I have been in a home theater where this was done. It was ungodly. I wonder how it would compare to this. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That was absurd. People have too much money...I wish I was one.

That definetly cost more than $13,000 to make.

You dont need 60cubic feet to use this fan sub, nor do you need to dig up your floor.

I would take the fan sub thingy

squeak, the whole thing about "it looks like it should work" is in relation to the fact that there are numerous companies in this world out to take your money with BS "reviews" that they have, and overhyped marketing plans. *ahem*monster*ahem*. the fact that you cant believe everything the interweb tells us means you have to decide for yourself, or find proof other than what the companies website tells us.

thats all. but the basic principal of sound is the movement (vibration) of molecules... and the best way to move molecules through air is certainly not by moving the cone of a speaker in and out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

this seems like it would work a hell of alot better than a standard loudspeaker in sub50hz range. but i cant see those fanblades moving any faster than 40 cycles per second while spinning. lol.

and is it just me, or do those fanblades look mighty fragile?

//edit

idea just popped into my head. if some of you still doubt, think about the loudness of helicoptor blades. they are just a really big fan. imagine if that was a controlled sound //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i think that puts it into perspective.

Good thought about the helicopter. I think that that speaker design has potentual. Those fanblades do look fragile to me as well, but it is probably some type of metal alloy.

Hell, it better be for 13K!

Helicopter blades also pivit.
