You nailed it…

I don’t know Lyngdorf, but a good sub with a well built cabinet should not be vibrating. A large part of the cost of a good sub is an acoustically inert cabinet in fact. So if you have a high quality sub, the vibrations didn’t ought to be a major issue.

Placement is the main problem for me with this. Your cabinet is very unlikely to go where is best for the sub. You can fix that with two subs and a miniDSP but now you are spending a lot more.

This is how I have my multi use room set up: two subs in basically OK locations but not ideal. They are dialed-in using MSO and a miniDSP to create a combined response that’s close to perfect. The subs themselves are hidden behind acoustic fabric over a frame, and covered by custom table tops. The table tops make no discernable difference to the sound and even the REW measurements show practically no effect.

Divers vibrate. Good speaker cabinets do not. So, it depends on the speaker. You have to go fairly high-end before the cabinet design is inert enough not to vibrate though.

NGL: I totally read that as “wife and dog for sale” and that seemed fair enough for that system…!

Some great answers in here. In addition to ODESZA maybe some of their Bronson stuff: Keep Moving for example. Fell in love with that song seeing their Last Goodbye tour and it’s been on repeat ever since.

Absolutely brilliant album! I had it on almost continuous repeat when it was first released, and I’ve just recently rediscovered it in my collection. It’s the album that resulted in a great epiphany for me: All the music of my early years is music I’ve never heard on a really good system - we just didn’t have great HiFi in my house.

I’m having the best time rediscovering so many bands I used to love. If you thought Alison Moyet’s voice gave you chills on your Walkman, try again now!
