I just got an email saying I am to be receiving a nice package in the mail from Totem Acoustics...

I think it might be this:
Totem Drum

Anyone out there use tactile transducers in there home theater (or car for that matter)?

Ohh the suspense....

I'm happy with a well powered sub that will go nice and low.

I've been in a few vehicles with these type of devices. I don't see the need.

I'd call them mid-high fi.

I am getting them in the mail...cause it's my job to recieve shiny new toys in the mail!Yup - I'd hate me too!

So, no one uses them eh....well I need to do some research and find out some more about them.

I feel that in home theater applications they could be very usefull.
I will be also reviewing it from a -wife aceptace factor- view. See if it really does provide low frequecy effects without all the high SPL's that wifes seem to dislike so much...

It will be interesting to hear how it sounds without a sub...

So how is this different than an over-glorified, extremely-overpriced Aura Bass Shaker? The ones you can get for $20 each at Parts Express? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Sure it's pretty and all, but really.

I have a pair of lowly Bass Shakers and have used them with pleasing success as an ehancement to two factory stereo systems. I plan on using them in the future too. People scoff at them, but once you try them you may just like them.
