I'm wonder with A/D/S. I had a Sunfire signature for a couple months and trade Rel Strata III with my friend. Sunfire is good for movie but for music it has much distortion. Rel Strata is not good either, in my opinion. I have run around for many subs but not stay with me long. Finally, I have a friend who has many friends that are A/D/s fan and he invited me come over to his house for listening, I was suprising and really like it. I was looking for ADS sub, that took me four months to get it. Very hard to find. I really love this one, when it run about 20 Hz you still feel the bass and bass is very clean, many other subs can't do this job. If you are lucky to get one,you will not be disappointed. Take time go out to listen or find it. -:)
Subwoofer for under $1000-new, used, or DIY
I listen to mostly rock and classical. The sub would be for music only- no HT. I have GMA Europas, a Redgum 120 wpc int. amp and Audio Note tube CD player. I like my system very much, but it could use a little more oomph. My room is small (15x12x10). I've never had a sub before.
I have read about Hsu, ACI, SVS, Sunfire, Rel, Def. Tech., Totem, Titanic, Vandersteen, Rava, lots of DIY models, and a lot of others I can't think of at the moment. Frankly, it's all become a blur.
I am not a "bass freak", but do appreciate the low end of the musical spectrum. I won't say size is no object (smaller would be better), but of course sound quality is more important.
If you've owned or even heard any of the above subs (or any other in the price range) I would really appreciate hearing from you. Any comments or advice from my fellow 'goners (hmm..that didn't sound quite right) would be great. Thanks to all in advance.
