Subs or Turntable?


I’ve long wanted a VPI turntable, and I’m very drawn to the Prime series. 

But the budget keeps being pushed out, and logically I think a pair of subs would make a stronger impact on the sound. Looking at REL t7x, which comes in lower than the TT. 

So subs or TT? Logic or heart? What would you do?

Oh ok. It's a fabulous sub. Ranked 10/10 on AVS, but I'm confused, why are you asking about subs if you can't support the connection(s) 

@fj40jason  The REL subs I specifically mentioned do support speaker level connections. That’s something REL does across their line and is a core element of their philosophy. Oddly at a glance the SVS-1000 seems to be the only subs in their lineup that support speaker level connections. 

Oh yeah that's the outgoing tech from yesteryears.

 

I wouldn't recommend going with it.

@fj40jason  can you explain why? Like I said, I’ve heard a number of systems with that implementation that perform exceedingly well. I don’t know why it would be considered inferior. In my mind it allows the sub to receive the full audio signal with any tonality imparted from the amp, and allows the subwoofer crossover to have full discretion of what gets delivered to the driver.
