I use (and recommend) Rhythmik, but a pair of SVS sealed 12” subs can be had for just under $1k. You’ll get smoother response with a properly situated pair of subs than you will with one. The 2 x 12” drivers will play very loud with low distortion and the sealed enclosure ensures tight bass. They’ll play as low as 99.9%+ of all recorded music program material demands at high spl with low distortion
Cost Effective Sub Woofer
Interested in obtaining a cost effective sub woofer for a reasonably good sounding two (2) channel stereo system consisting of the following equipment: Monitor Audio Gold 100 speakers on monitor Audio stands, Rotel Integrated amp, Linn Basik turntable with Rega Exacta 2 Cartridge, Kimber Speaker Cables and jumpers, Interconnects and digital cable, Marantz 5004 CD player, PS audio Power Cords. The music room is not treated and 17 x 24 in size. Any suggestion on a sub woofer. Prefer to stay under $1000.00. Listening preference is jazz at moderate volume. Not loud at all.
