Which subwoofer should I get?
Hi - I have the following system:
Magico A5 speakers
Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated
Merging Nadac + Player + Power DAC
Purist Audio cabling
I love my system......but I had the opportunity to use an SVS PB-2000 pro (home theater subwoofer) for a few weeks, and it really improved the overall experience.
I have the opportunity to purchase a REL Carbon Special sub (used) or purchase an SVS SB 3000 Pro. I really like the fact that the SVS subs have so many user adjustable features, and can be adjusted on the fly from an app. I've been told over and over that the sonic qualities of the REL far outweigh the advantages of the SVS subs. Would love to hear from you regarding this issue.
So, in brief, should I go for the REL, the SVS, or some other sub (if so, why?)?
Thanks - Matt

FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_modes "...equalization is part of the necessary treatment of room modes in bass. There is no escape from that, but even there, something that should be simple is sometimes compromised." Chapter 8 in the 3rd edition Toole, F. E.

Well, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long, but I finally have my subwoofers! I purchased a pair of Rythmic E15HP2’s. Just starting to play with them. Will have some feedback and questions over the next few days, but wanted again to express my appreciation to this group for the help you offered many months ago! |
