Welcome to Bassometry!
We’re currently under early stage of construction as I fine-tune the experience and initial content. Official launch coming ~ 1st October 2025.
//09.09.2025 - The Beyma memo: As you can see, I am now reviewing a whole bunch of Beyma drivers, and more are to come. This certainly deserves to trigger some alarms about potential personal bias. The situation is, that these drivers are lent to me free of charge, free of guidance, and free of reward. No incentive whatsoever. The reasoning behind these particular reviews is to give the lender some good feedback on these drivers for his own use. At the same moment, I am allowed to share such data and opinions. Apart from the lending by kind friend Martin at Ms-sound, 100% of the financial and other costs that go into the reviews are bore by myself. On that note, I decided to create new class of driver scoring/evaluation. A "Bassometry Approved" badge. Specifications of that badge will be clearly and openly presented. At this moment, I am sure two from the four Beyma drivers reviewed (despite highest score and what not) are not going to wield that badge, as this platform rewards very particular kind of products - the most sturdiest, hardcore, and otherwise suiting subwoofer drivers. I hope I was successful in dispelling the suspicions, and of course more questions about this are welcome.
//08.09.2025 - releasing more reviews
//02.09.2025 - Getting swamped by more drivers for reviews. It will be an exciting start, but busy. My amplifier for testing malfunctioned, New unit is already ordered.
You can expect imminent reviews of: B&C 21DS115, LaVoce SAN184.50, RCF LN19S450, DB Audio T-Rex 10, Beyma 14MC700Nd, Beyma 14MLEX1000Nd, Beyma 21LEX1600Nd, Hadex Q338, and I am slowly turning onto the possibilities of FaitalPro 21XL3000 and Celestion TSQ2460 amongst others, before I turn on hi-fi and car audio too.
//04.08.2025 - Review flow and evaluations refined. Working on content and reviews.
//01.08.2025 - New (Intermediate) speaker clamping rig done.
//01.07.2025 - New speaker clamping rig in the works.
//20.6.2025 - Gathering data on first speakers.
//16.6.2025 - Refining test procedures upon new discoveries of "test needs".
//15.6.2025 - Gathering first speakers for tests
Stay tuned!
We´re going deep!
That’s it! I snapped.
After sifting through a handful of vague ‘boomy bass’ reviews, finding zero real coverage of the speaker I actually wanted, and hitting a wall of silence from most manufacturers, I knew something had to be done.
Sparse specs, few vital measurements, no support, buzzwords and marketing fluff or incomplete data at best. I was done, so I started digging. Hunting for real information. That’s when I rediscovered the glory days of platforms like data-bass - obsessive, technical, uncompromising. And then I watched it fade into silence. A lifetime loss.
That’s when it hit me: If no one else is going to carry the torch, I might as well. So here we are.
Welcome to the bass pit, where decibels are worshipped and cones are punished! A new speaker review platform that connects lab-grade testing with real-world evaluation, designed for anyone who hears below 100Hz and demands more.
A platform that is overbuilt with nanosmooth resonance enhancers, seamless space-grade hyperintegration, and ultra-powerful subsonic waveform AI, powered by quantum tuned algorithms and calibrated using just enough caffeine to make acoustical waveticles cry.
This is where I stand: There will be woofer and subwoofer reviews, with "one off" articles, reviews and odd/educational inputs. The test process for speaker review is very optimized for revealing of practical driver behavior, and is nearly "complete", especially regarding electro-machanical testing of a speaker. I am open to insights and upgrades, but not every kind of test will make it to the procedure.
Klippel is a powerful tool - no doubt. But without the full reports (which few produce, and fewer can interpret anyway), its practical value can be limited. I’ll aim to include Kms(x) and Bl(x) curves in future tests, but let’s be honest: those aren’t usually what drive speaker purchases. At the moment, the outcomes of such measurements with DIY approach are very unstable. Various drivers deviate greatly with measured data compared to manufacturer supplied reports and Klippel setup is unreachable for me at the moment. But I will certainly strive to get this up and running.
Bassometry will run on a subscription model to help keep the platform sustainable and the content truly high-quality. The goal is to independently purchase and test more than a dozen of in-demand drivers each year, more even, including fringe, old-school or interesting units, using advanced equipment and a rigorous testing processes.
That kind of work takes time, tools, and support. While I’m deeply invested in making it happen, I can’t carry the full load alone. If you find value in what I do, I hope it’s worth a modest contribution to fuel independent testing (or a cheap speaker).
Early Subscription Info
Note: Subscriptions are not open yet. Access remains free during development.
Here’s a preview of upcoming subscription options, launching with the full platform in October/November 2025:
- Monthly Plan – $6/month
- Yearly Plan – $32.50/starting year (best value)
- Supporter Tier ~ $96/year (for those who believe in the mission, want to help the platform grow, or want access to exclusive services)
- Commercial Plans – TBD.
Your subscription helps cover everything from test gear and software licenses to speaker shipping and hands-on analysis — all aimed at bringing you reliable, no-nonsense data.
There will be hand picked and sparse advertising for sponsors and partners, though I will not let this be flooded with obstructing paid content.
Thank you for being here early. Your interest, feedback, and support truly matter.
See you around!
