That reminds me of a funny story, circa 2001.
Mr. Maiora Sikki and I were discussing various proposals and ideas. His firm is a client of mine today.
Anyways he invited me to a personal tour of his place in Newport, OR. We're both fanatical audiophiles to say the least. He said he had something to show me.I was seated and the show began. Michael Jackson's "Bad" began playing and the most insane, bass I've ever heard attacked me with the force of 1000 Rottweiler dogs. I never heard such a tight and intense sound before, ever. It's simply indescribable!
He showed me the technology behind the scenes and I was equally blown away. Today I have a playback system in a personal theatre and studio based on the same amplifier and transducer technology. My amplifiers are water cooled like his but his take the cake as he insists on using water from the Pacific Ocean in his exchangers! I OTOH settle for a chiller and de-ion system to remove heat from 180,000W worth of transistors.
So with that said, give Bad a listen. If the bass isn't so tight or impressive, then your system isn't cutting it. Sure there is techmaster, illegal bass, bass mekanic and others but these are simple sinus tones that are easy to reproduce. These can generate actual tsunamis in the original application: a hull testing tank in which the system was designed for. The diaphone driver can generate an acoustic shock wave capable of denting i-beams and blowing out tempered glass windows 16 mm thick! After all he prefers to make sure his ships can take a crossing BEFORE the sea trial.
Although I ordinarily am not a fan of the Star Spangled Banner, hearing it sung by hundreds of voices in a palace in Iraq including mine during a very formal ceremony was quite an experience.
