subwoofers


can anybody give me their learned opinion on testing subs.are there major differences as you move up in price as you find in loudspeakers.there are numerous subs priced under $1000 then you see names like sunfire rel velodyne proac that have subs around $2000,are they worth the extra expenditure. thanks in advance for all of the excellant comments i have recieved on audiogon.

Have maggies 1.6's and REL storm II (older model) but it does the job.. It works directly off the speaker out put of your amp and you can blend it perfectly to any good speakers
..
My dealer even uses them on highend B&W's Nautilus 802's etc....
The effectmust be heard to be believed.. the Bass is superble blended and the entire dynamic range is subtly improved...
In my experience with music I found that the REL method of connecting directly to speaker out puts is by far the best way to use a subwoofer..there may be others that connect this way but I am unaware of such...
hope this helps..
