Personally, I like a pair of 5'x3'x2' cabs with 24" Hartley woofers. They only needs about 200 RMS/each (if anyone still cares about that measurement) to run and if you brace the cab in the corners with 4"x4" wooden posts, it holds together rather well. You do need big wheels to roll it into place, but a pair of them really add to the concert hall sound of the orchestra.
Do audiophiles hate large subwoofers?
I'm noticing a lot of folks into high end audio prefer smaller subwoofers (If they add one at all). What are the reasons for not going after a 15", 18" or something even larger?
Seems like the quickness issue comes up a lot, but when you think about it on a larger subwoofer the excursion is not as severe so it would be more in control. Couple that with servo technology and it can be plenty quick and tight, no?
