A rotary sub. Never heard one in action myself, but would love to. And measurements, of course.
Is this the only driver type that can get down to DC?

Last I remember, its output tapered off around 35Hz but it could do 0 to 25 at extremely high output. There was a fellow on AVS who acquired one, on a meet several participans reported feeling of severe nausea... on some movies scenes.

I have heard/feeled it, in a presentation room in San Francisco, by Bruce Thigpen himself - the author of the patented invention (Nice and humble guy, by the way).

Naaah,
The body bowing is only due to the integrated propeller.

The problem way back then with huge horns folded into a home was time alignment of the drivers. Now it is easy with DSP delays.
Before mobile 'phones, and Police personal radios, there were police boxes in most UK towns and cities. The idea was that the public could call the Police when there wasn't a telephone box around, and Policemen on their beats could call in to the Police Station for back-up or instructions. (or just to get out of the rain). All went away when Police were issues with 2-way radios and the public got mobile 'phones. There are one or two still left, kept as historic artefacts.
The Police Box was used as a cover for Dr Who's TARDIS as it would pass unremarked in any UK city street.
