Erin’s audio corner has been reviewing small subs lately. I personally would not buy any of them. Fast bass is a myth. Group delay does matter. JL’s group delay in general is pretty good and always under one cycle.
Quick subwoofer like SVS micro 3000
I have a minimal set up at the moment with Blueroom Minipods (funny looking wife-friendly speakers) connected to Bluesound Powernode.
By many accounts, the speaker has actually decent sound but lacking in bass - and I was advised to find a "quick" subwoofer with smaller driver size.'
So, the strongest candidate right now is SVS micro 3000, which I also appreciate the look of. Some reports say, though, that RSL Speedwoofer 10s MKII is quicker and better value. I guess my question is how can the RSL be "quicker" with ported design.
Any other recommendations for me under 1000 dollar range?
Thank you
