First subwoofer for a newbie.


Subs have me perplexed.... I can't seem to find what people think are clearly the few models to own. With blu-ray players, majority opinion clearly points to obbo products but yet I have not found as clear cut of a following with subs. Any thoughts? Budget is $500-$1200. I am open to used or refurbished. I am matching this up with PSB Synchrony Two B speakers. I would like a really tight bass and don't care as much about trying to rattle the house to the ground. I want my music to sound amazing, but also have a good home theater experience.

Thanks from a total newbie!

REL subs have a following.
Don't buy those at the bottom of line if you can. And be careful if you buy used - some people drive their subs hard. Maybe the best option is to buy new for $1200 with full warranty.
HSU Research. If you live in Southern California, you can buy direct, save shipping and perhaps get a cash discount.

For 1200$? A pair of subs would work fine. I have the mk3 version of this sub and it is both musical and thundereous. A pair in even a large room would work well.
