All About That Bass? Behond The World Largest Subwoofer

I have all sorts of fantasy design plans for when I finally finish my basement. I want it to be my office, my studio, my music performance space and my music listening lair. Budgetary realities aside, I’d have dreams for a high-end two-channel double monoblock-powered stereo system with a high-end turntable and a set of speakers that cost more than the annual GDP of a small Pacific nation.

It’ll never happen, of course, but it’s always nice to dream.

But then there are guys like Roberto Dell Curti who is building his entire house around his music listening needs.  The structure is built around a subwoofer with channels 21 feet long and three feet deep, allowing to theoretically produce tons down to 10hz. He won’t say how much power goes into driving the thing. Meghan Trainor is probably begging for a dinner invitation. Read more at Bobby Owsinski’s music production blog.

And since we’re on the subject of audio gear, Pigeons and Planes has this list of the coolest record players currently available.
