I recently replaced a 30 year old Paradigm PS1000 with a very nice used B&W ASW855 for my second family room system. I have an SVS PC12 in my main system which performs respectably, but this B&W is mighty impressive. It is effective down to 15hz and seems to outperform the SVS in most, if not all, aspects.
@hawkrider00 Well the 855 damn well should outperform the PC12 — you’re comparing a $3k sub to a $950 sub and inferring B&W subs are better. Apples and oranges dude.
