Jim, I had a Paradigm PS-1000 dual cavity ported bandpass sub which was room shaking for HT put was sloppy and muddy on tunes. Swapped it for a MB Quart D1200si- 12" forward firing, 150 watt amp. It is quick and tight on music (rock and blues) and most important to me was that it disappeared once it was dialed in! It does an average job on movies[(settings-50 hz xover, 1/4 to 1/3 gain)coupled w/full range fronts]-- It easily bested the Paradigm PDR10 and PDR 12 on tunes. It's a $500- $650 class sub. I highly recommend it for digital front ended audio - you asked :-) have fun
Subwoofer blues
I need help with narrowing down my sub woofer choice. I have $600.00 to spend and am not sure to buy used or new? My system consists of b&K AVP 1000, Citation 5.1, b&w dm620's and a nakamichi mb-10 using a x-dac. I listen to music but watch a lot of movies as well. I have listened to b&W and a few others but the bass seamed sloppy. PLEASE HELP Best regards Jim
