The superawesome sub from ADIRE : BRAHMA

i take it no one is into subs...how else are you going to get a highfidelity sound without a superior sub?..i was the first to mention this ADIRE line of subs!...and i've only been in this hifi hobby 3 months!

Sean good point...the driver really needs a high quality amp...but the REL has a built in amp and sells for about the same as this driver + cabinet + amp...as for "good sound"...the REL is reviewed as being "best" and my friend says his REL sounds a bit "wooly"...so i'm sure this seemingly very well designed ADIRE does exactly what it is supposed to do..and at least as good as the REL...we'll have to wait on a review...could you expand a little on the SPL concept and HT woofer

SEAN thanks for your post...i'm looking into the problems that you pointed to.

Sean...has one of the longest throws on the market without losing definition...sealed not ported...small cabinet will do fine...400+ amp will do it...Sean take a look at the FOCALWX13 and give me some imput on this design as well thanks...the choice may come down to these 2 very handsome subs...anybody auditioned either one?

Sean i see what your saying...but you will have to admit it is a very well made driver...and would be a tough competitor among other long throw subs...but i think the long throw type sub may not be want i'm looking for...i want a soft yet tight sub sound...a sound that is natural and not overwhelimg to the small monitors or the room...refer to the 2 recent thread on sub-intergration..are subs really necessary?..could a upgraded amp with slam provide better lows from your monitor woofers?...do amp power subs produce too much presence in the room?..especially if the room does not have good acoustics..subs may not be for everyone..take a look at the FOCAL WX series and let me know ...i'm going to hear the REL STORM later tonight...i'll keep you posted...Thanks again for your interesting and very helpful comments...Tweekerman
