Hi,
I need some help locating some good subwoofers (other than REL if possible, since they are expensive)
My criteria
Currently i am looking at SVS SB 1000 as a possible candidate. My only concern is that it only goes down to 24Hz and that its bigger brother SB 2000, which was auto recommended for me by the SVS auto recommendation tool, seems more powerful without being too much more expensive. Unfortunately it / others in that line does not have the speaker level inputs (except maybe for PB 1000 which is not sealed)
Since i do not have a receiver and am currently making do with an Integrated amp which luckily has an LFE input, i might be able to use the SB 2000. But I wanted to retain the freedom of moving up to a better amp if possible without spending for an AVR which could go outdated. In this case SB 2000 will stop working for me or i might have to restrict my usage only to amps with an LFE (line) output which seems restrictive. This was why i was looking for speaker line inputs.
HSU seems an option but i saw some threads here, where the company just flat refused to do anything about it. Plus i would need to import it myself
I do not know if Rhythmik or Velodyne has matching speakers, iam still searching. Thought i would ask in here for a fast suggestion.
Thanks
Arun
I need some help locating some good subwoofers (other than REL if possible, since they are expensive)
My criteria
- Extends below 20Hz
- Has speaker level + LFE (line) + XLR inputs
- Is sealed (fast and not booming for music?)
- Has enough power to pressure a 155 sqft small room (1240 cubic feet)
- Has phase + low pass and such minimum required controls
- Budget max stretchable 70k
