This is why the majority of sub-woofers will not work effectively in most systems - they simply overwhelm the system, causing boom and a poor bass performance.

This will help with sound integration between the two different sources. It seems that we humans prefer to listen to plane waves rather than spherical.

RUNNING-IN Care taken over running-in will be rewarded by many years of pleasurable use. Both the electronics and the drive units will benefit from an initial period of carefully controlled use.
