 KH> The DJ booth is floored out of poured concrete to the same height as
 KH> the stage, and the Turntable Stand is a poured curved block of high
 KH> grade concrete. It sits upon cement blocks that are mortared to the DJ
 KH> booth floor. The blocks are filled with a lead/sand mixture. The
 KH> equipment racks are flown from the bottom of the curved Turntable
 KH> stand (which is about 6" thick) on steel rods that are embedded in it.
 KH> Each shelf is damped at it's flying point to mechanically damp and
 KH> separate it from the vibration of the floor and room. 
 KH> In case of nuclear attack, hide in the DJ booth.
No kidding! That's a serious structural setup!
 
 KH> Next is Bag End.
 KH> Much better performance. Sealed box Subs, with Custom EV drivers. Same
 KH> in the mid/high boxes. The mid/high are ported. 115 DB, average slow.
 KH> Flat to about 15 hz. SERIOUS subsonics. Punchy and as controlled as
 KH> you could ask for. My personal favorite. 
 
Oh yeah! Those Bag end operate below resonance, and they are some of
the nicest subs around; how they did that is a bit complex, but I 
have heard them, and they *are* very impressive! I haerd a system
with the integrator that flattens response to 8 cycles, and was 
instantly in love. What a great system (if a bit complex to set up,
with all those dip switches)! I am considering gatting some of that
stuff for home listening/massage. Take care.
... I'll have what the Gentleman on the floor had.
