Fulcrum Acoustic has announced a new addition to their TQ install product line called the RM Reference Monitor series. The RM22 and RM25 are a departure for the company, in that these new products weren’t intentionally developed for public consumption. “After 23 years of designing professional products within narrowly defined requirements, I decided to launch Fulcrum’s R&D effort by designing a couple of no-holds-barred, ‘how good can it sound’ loudspeakers. From that effort sprang the technologies that ultimately led to…

I am an audio engineer, a bass player, and a skeptic. So, when I first saw the Guitammer Buttkicker system, I’m afraid it was the skeptic that spoke up sarcastically: “Oh boy. Another gimmick! Yet another electronic toy to pay for!” But it was a cool idea, so I still went right over to look at it.
