The two subs costing more money than the Aerial SW12 that received "recommended" ratings by TAS are the Audio Physiks Minos ($5k) and the Wilson Audio (can't remember the model name, but it retails for $10k).
Is there a better sub than the Aerial SW12?
I've heard them both in mono and stereo and they are the most natual subs I've heard. They were paired with Aerial LR5's and CC5b. I wonder how they stack up against the new Thiel and the existing Revel subs. Also, are there any subs below their price range that come close?
