    LOL! Boom-boom! Boom-boom! Bass drum players are getting a lot of work these days.
    Every movie trailer these days is nothing but Bang, boom! Boom, bang! More bass drum! Slam!

    Too bad they never even show the percussion section in the video.

    In this sequence at 1 minute 4 seconds you will see the drummer in a drum booth ,tympanies are on a ochestra riser with protective glass , electric guitar player behind acoustic panel. This is how we record music.

    Really Nice. A dual woofer setup has always been my first choice.
    Interesting read all the way.
    This paragraph from the text really got my attention.

    "Considerable care was taken to build an enclosure for the horn assembly
    and properly isolate the TAD driver from the horn bell and align the
    opening perfectly at the horn/driver intersect."

    Has anyone here isolated their driver from the horn?
    I could suspect the reasoning............
