Sub s for Dali Megaline system

The choice might be more related to your room size. I am assuming you have a really large room with your Dali's. If that is the case you may chose to move a huge amount of air, (think pant legs waving like a flag in a stiff breeze). The JL Audio subs will do that. If you want the fastest, tightest bass possible then the Wilson Benesch Torus would be you best bet. (Please disregard my opinion since I am a dealer for Wilson Benesch).

The Torus unlike so many other subs does not have a long throw drive. What it does do is move a lot of air very very quickly. It works in push pull, like an electrostatic speaker. I spoke with Craig Milnes the designer and he said the Torus goes down to 2hz. At that frequency you get more heat then anything else. There is a dip switch on the bottom of the amp that rolls off the low end. You can choose no roll off or 10hz or 15hz or 20hz and others.

If you think that a speaker or subwoofer or infrasonic generator is deficient because it doesn't go down to what ever you yourself have established as a base line then you should simply listen to the Torus to clarify all the misinformation floating about.

I would simply say that I have no room for speakers or subs that double and take the bass and blow it up out of all proportion. For example a $4000 speaker that says it goes down to 26hz verses a $40,000 loudspeaker that makes that same claim. Which one do you imagine sounds more like real music?
The issue is quality over quantity. In America quantity has been wining out but it is up to you to decide.

Good luck guys.

I know what you mean when you say it sound dampened. I am a dealer for Wilson benesch speakers and I have to say that because they are made from carbon fiber and there for very very fast the sound that you hear from the Torus is just that. Clean Clean and Fast Fast..

May the gods of music bless you. No doubt the other gods will curse you.
