Well I went auditioning subs and tried looking for the wharfedale sw150 (since its highly recommended by forum members) but didnt go into the heart of delhi. Just in and around gurgaon but couldnt find one on display.
So anyway I was looking at subs under the 20k mark and mainly compared polks jamo klipsch pure acoustics onkyo and kef since no wharfedales within my grasp.
I dont know much about the advanced specs of subs like +/- db 3/6 etc but I particularly liked one.
Heard out the PSW 110 and 125 from polk audio. Both had mids spilling over and had a lot of boom and lacked control of tones, muddy. I'd imagine the the wharfdale sw150 being probably better than the 125 since its highly recommended a lot of yguys.
The jamo sub 200 wasnt worth the money at all @ 16k - if you get it at 11 then probably yes. Jamo Sub 250 was certainly much better but it was beyond the price range I was looking at. Same with klipsch subs.
The one I liked was the KEF c4 part of their c series line.

So I had a look at the SW150 specs for comparison

I quite enjoyed the KEF c4 tbh, it was soo much more... "rounded" than the polks, not literally. There were no mids spilling over and it had a nice bouncy playful thing to it. One of the onkyos from a much higher end htib had the same effect but it wasnt for separate sale.
Anyone have any views on KEF and their C lineup? Specifically the sub?
