If you want a sub that actually does go to 20hz, find a used Mackie HR120...they were designed for studio use as opposed to their live sound stuff (and they’re around although not made anymore)...I found one in a local music store that sells used gear and they had no idea how to use the thing. About 150 bucks later I brought it home and stuck it in my music studio...amazing...I use a couple of REL subs in my listening rig, and hooked up the Mackie in that system out of curiosity (no small feat as it weighs 92 lbs) and realized I really don’t need 19hz in there and prefer the main amp signal driven RELs, but man...a great sub. 500 A/B watts, and a plethora of adjustments available...12" down-firing EAW monster woofer, 12" front firing radiator, balanced and single ended inputs. Get four of ’em!
Upgrading sub to get a live feel.
I currently have a set of JBL 4319 which has its history as 4310. They are studio monitors and as a result they sound like studio monitors you hear everything, but they lack the physical presence on the low end. They have wonderful mid range and voice presence. I also have a pair of SVS SB1000 to help with the low end.
I want to eventually upgrade to JBL 4367 with upgraded pair of subs, for this reason, but in the mean time would a sub upgrade be considered before the speakers.
