Subwoofer suggestion

I recently replaced a 30 year old Paradigm PS1000 with a very nice used B&W ASW855 for my second family room system.  I have an SVS PC12 in my main system which performs respectably, but this B&W is mighty impressive. It is effective down to 15hz and seems to outperform the SVS in most, if not all, aspects.

@hawkrider00 Well the 855 damn well should outperform the PC12 — you’re comparing a $3k sub to a $950 sub and inferring B&W subs are better.  Apples and oranges dude. 

Next time read/quote my entire post.  I already said it was not apples to apples. And to be more accurate, the PC12 was $1350 new in 2013. The ASW855 retailed $2200 new.  I bought it used for $500. 

Thank you all for your inputs and suggestions. 

Two subs correctly placed will help with the room modes and standing waves that all rooms have.Correct placement is more important than choosing which brand is *best*.You can research this before making a decision. The majority of bass in music goes no lower than 40hz.

And to be more accurate, the PC12 was $1350 new in 2013. The ASW855 retailed $2200 new.

@hawkrider00 Here are two reviews from the same time period that quote the retail prices as $3000 and $949 for the 855 and PC12, respectively. Either way, to say the 855 outperforms the PC12 is, well, duh.

Even at $2200, for that price you could get two SVS SB3000s. Now that’d be a more interesting, useful, and relevant comparison and truly apples to apples.
