Make sure you order a 1 to 2 kW amp to go with that JBL! :)
Pro/Studio Subwoofers
Anyone try pro subwoofers in their HiFi system from the likes of Genelec, Dynaudio, Adam, etc? In some cases (e.g., Dynaudio 18s) they seem like a good value - this sub has opposing 9.5 inch woofers and purports to go down to 16hz +/- 3 db for under 2k, though it only weighs less than 50 lbs. Or the Genelec 7370a which is more expensive at $4k but has a 12 inch woofer and weighs over 100 lbs, but has tons of connectivity options and DSP included. Just curious what experience people have with HiFi, and if the subs are worth looking at before shelling out cash for a REL, JL, etc. which I think have started to get expensive in the last 5-10 years on the home audio inflation curve.

Big +1 @erik_squires re Hsu subs for sound quality and size. I have two- one on my AV rig which easily goes to 20 Hz and one for my smaller recording rig with JBL 4401 monitors. The pro subs I’ve seen are generally much bigger and, as mentioned above, need external amplification. Don’t know why Hsu subs don’t get more love on AGon. |
@zgas-music In room my Hsu easily does 16 Hz. :) |
Check out Sweetwater’s pro sub selection. From $400 8 inch JBL to $5K 15 inch Genelec! Must have dual balanced inputs for most all except Focal which offers a 2.1 LFE bypass input. They have great sales support as well. Good luck! |
