What subwoofers are suited 4 audiophiles

After thoroughly researching all the subwoofers in the market about 2 years ago, I went with a pair of Martin Logan Depth subwoofers.

I decided on Depth rather than his bigger brother, Descent, because the smaller size was a must for me, living in a condo. Money was also a factor, Depth MSRP was $1750 at the time, vs. around $3000 for the Descent.

Anyhow, 2 years later I am throwing away the five Maggies comprising my HT setup - most likely will replace them with Merlins - and I am keeping the Depths. I have no plans to change them in the forseable future.

Hope this helps.

M&K's dual driver units are very nice as is the Muse Model 18 (discontinued). If you are looking for fast rather than deep base, the M&K dual 8" units (MX-70, MX-700, and MX-7000) are awesome for the money in small to medium rooms. Larger rooms could benefit from the Muse, or maybe a Bag End 18". The Mirage BPSS-210 is a good one as well (also discontinued).

Not a boom boom sub. It subtly delivers the missing bottom spectrum with fast and taught bass without drawing attention to itself. It can also go very low. The stand up bass in Jazz quartets sounds natural and full with good pace.

Probably not the best for bass freaks or for pressurizing a big room.
