Sub suggestions please
I just got a pair of JBL L100 Classics (I have seen that they are controversial here, but I love the look, and am impressed with the sound...I'm a happy camper). They are connected to the Cambridge CXA61, and I run a Technics SL1600 with a Grado Prestige Green3 cart, and a Cambridge Alva Duo preamp, and Cambridge CD transport (CXC V2). My sub is a Klipsch Reference Series 12", which I like, but it doesn't aesthetically work with the JBLs. I'm considering the REL Classic 98, Sonus Faber Gravis II, or the SVS SB-3000 (I was told I could get it in a walnut veneer, but haven't actually seen that. Walnut is important in this case). Any seconds on one of those options? Any alternates I should consider at $1,500 or less (I am perfectly satisfied with pre-owned)?
Huge problem most dealers don’t carry lots of subwoofers to listen to. So what the person supposed to do? I’ve seen REL subs all over the place and people seem to be thrilled with them so if I want to sub I would buy that. If you have main speakers go down to 20 Hz and do a good job with bass why would you wanna deal with a sub. I would advocate a sub for home theater so when the tanks are on the screen you can actually feel them. |
sad making decisions based on asthetics THE fix for subs is a 12" dual open baffle GR research servo sub ! you can get them as a DIY kit and finish them however you like and / or pay a pro to do it ! up to you not much doubt they are superior to about all other for price ! $1,700 |
