Need help finding a subwoofer that is...

sealed, front-firing, with a phase inversion switch & a 2nd (or) 4th order crossover (as low as possible)(and if someone can explain what this type of crossover is, i'd be most appreciative!). it must move plenty of air but speed is paramount! (to be used with Merlin VSM Milleniums for audio only!) thanks for the help--i don't know where to start personally. rhyno

Check out the goods at www.rel.net There should be one that fits your needs and REL subs are hard to beat at any price point.

Most of the REL's have adjustable crossover at about 2 Mhz intervals. The crossover is not actually a crossover, since the adjustment is on the sub, which lets your speakers run full range. Why do you want forward firing ?? The best RELs for music are the down firing ones. The forward ones are for HT. The Stratus III is a sealed unit. I think the Stentor is also.

For "Sealed" I am talking about a closed-box design. Are you?

I did not know the Merlins were $7000 to $8000 speakers. The REL Stratus a $1300 sub (and a steal at that price). So the Talon being a $4000 sub should be better although I have never heard it. The RELs in that class are the Stentor $4000, Stadium $3000, and Studio $80000. There are lots of links to reviews available on these subs at REL's website and Audioreview.com
