Well..... that was a pretty fun / special / awesome night. 10 different sound systems all under one roof ( a very special one...the amazing Forum Theatre in Melb)
Sure there's going to be loads of better pics out there but here's a few to start with.... .p. |

Wasn't about comparing sounds, more a celebration of Sound System Culture...
No winners .... All different All equal. Saying that I think we had pretty much every design sub was in the building ! Scoops, folded horn, tapped horn , band pass, the Forum house system J-Subs were in storage downstairs but were still in the building !! .p. |

Not asking for winners! But in an art gallery, you can give opinions on the exhibits without being judgmental, surely :) Though of course, this might not be the place! Still, would be interested, as you say, quite a rarity to have that many different approaches under one roof...

I haven't heard proper folded horns for a long time and Subtemple's 18" bins were super tight and sounded very clean...fair play to them for designing and building them and their mid-tops from scratch !
All other systems ( apart from ours) were running scoops ( El Gran Mono have 3 x Superscoops behind that facade) so nothing new there.... A great fact is that 3 sounds were running FFa amps even down here ! Some more great photos from Francesco Vicenzi... .p. |
