Looking for Good Vibrations

[nfrnoman]

Is anyone out there aware of a component that converts traditional sound signal to multi-tonal vibration? I know there are the Vibetonz mobile phone and the Boneknocker headphone technologies out there - but they don't seem to be too sophisticated. Not having much luck locating such an item - so thought I'd go fishing in some sound & engineering forums. Thanks.

everytime i see buttkicker, i cant help but mention crowsontech as well.

They are not as well known, but higher end imo. I honestly think that if the buttkicker fans gave tes-100's a try, they would agree. They also cost more though.

give crowsontech.com a look. the tes-100 is a great product.
buttkickers are a great product too. all depends on your price range.

Buttkickers come with everything you need. If he buys a crownson, he needs an amp, and a crossover.

We have been trying to obtain the TES-100 for review but have not received them yet.

crowson does make a crossover with their stereo preamp (which allows stereo vibration), and an amp

but like i said. its more expensive.

hopefully the review works out well. i dont think it will blow the buttkickers out of the water during average flat lfe, but if you listen to detailed lfe like in some video games and movies, i think you can easily tell the difference.

i remember reading one review that said "i like the up and down motion but my favorite has to be the sliding motion" just by some random owner. It was pretty funny cause i knew exactly what he was talking about, cause during certain motions it feels almost like it moves front to back, but the thing only goes up and down.
