I heard last week Infinity Interlude IL120S with the Rabos equailizer. Stereophile rated this the best sub for 1000 dollars. With the rabos software done right, this sub is great. This sub lists for a 1000 dollars. This sub was really good for music
Best Sub for Music, Under $1000
I currently use a Revel B15 to fill out the low end on my Tyler Acoustic Monitors. This weekend we put the B15 into our home theater system and realized that it's extremely low frequency response was being underutilized in the two channel music system, so I am in the market for a great sub for music only - the catch is that I have only $1000 to spend - used would be fine, but I would prefere a transferrable warranty. I am considering going with the Tyler Acoustic Taylo Sub, but have not heard anything about it one way or another. Thanks.

I own, and love the Sunfire Architectural Sub. Fast, tight, powerful, very musical and small. Lists for $1400, but you should find it, new, nicely discounted for $1000. I did. It's designed for two channel listening. Everyone thinks of Sunfire and HT, but this baby is wonderful. It blends seemlessly with my M20s. I compared the Architectural to the B-15 before I bought it. Price and size were factors, but I used the B-15 as a referent. The Sunfire held its' own, beautifully. Happy listening. |
You can't beat a REL Strata III (~$950 used) or a REL Storm III (~$1150 used) for music. They easily integrate with monitors and have dual inputs (hi/low) so that you can use them for HT as well. The hard part is finding a used one. They usually sell in a couple of hours once they are posted. I have one matched with my B&W CDM1s and the sound is incredible. I could write more but the quuality of this sub is well documented in the Audiogon forums. Do a search for "Rel" and you should come up with more info or look at the reviews here: http://audioreview.com/PRD_120498_2741crx.aspx |
