The sound cards were VERY limiting in performance, but we did a few things (educational) with these computers. One was using twin 1,000 watt amps and 8 woofers was to plug the amp to the computer and the teacher had a CD that made the cones pulse at lower than hearing frequencies. You could NOT hear them. You could, however, if you got in the right place, FEEL them at the sonic collision point.
I don't exactly buy into the poor performance sound card bit. It's about math more than anything.
Distance, speed, intensity...etc...that makes it work. Energy, matter, speed, distance...E=MC2
Very basic stuff here. And I agree that a nice amp would work well, as the drivers for push-pull operation can be an incredible asset, regardless of the sound card/ source. Who said it needs to be within the hearing spread anyway?
Who wants to hear every car go by? Not me. I like the nice quiet cars with sound suppressing technologies.
