I was wondering what people's opinions are regarding the best subwoofer for around $1500.00. There are no specifics, it can be the best music sub, best boom sub, best sounding sub...whatever your opinion leads to. Thanks
The best new Sub for the money is the Paradigm Reference Servo-15,,,,STEREOPHILE CLASS B. THE best used Sub for the money is the B&W 800ASW,,,, awesome,powerful sub.
Muse 18 has held that post for the past 8-9 years, STEREOPHILE CLASS A recommended component for many years and for good reason. You can get small circuit boards (unique to the Muse 18),specifically designed for a number of speakers which the consumer can easily plug in and change the sub to your speakers own unique requirements. New speakers, just get a new card for the sub. Also runs in default mode without a card at 50Hz. The 18 is around $3,500.00, just saw one on the Auction at your price point of $1,500.00. They just don't come up on used market very often, most people are reluctant to part with theirs it seems. check out museelectronics.com - hellohifi.com if interested
REL Stratus II- $1250. From a company that is dedicated to musical subwoofers. They are quick with a very tight timber. I have heard it playing with both pro ac and mangepan 1.6qr's and it was indistiquishable from either. And those two speakers are very hard to match.(stereophile recommended- but that is meaning less and less with every recommended component issue they come out with)
