Whomp factor we define this way: deep bass + mid bass + speed + dynamic power + energy = whomp.

Records that badly lack bottom end whomp will almost never qualify as Hot Stampers. It’s a quality that’s often important to the sound of live music. The recordings we like best will not be deficient in this area.

There’s always plenty of bass being produced when you have full range dynamic speakers with three 12′ woofers firing away at the loud levels we play at, but getting the bass out of the corners and into the center of the room is probably the hardest thing to achieve in all of audio.

Getting the powerful weight and low end slam at the listener’s position is a real trick, and even with all our room treatments, hallographs and large, custom-built studio, we honestly cannot say we have achieved the level of success we were aiming for. But we’re not done yet.
