@zgas-music In room my Hsu easily does 16 Hz. :)
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.

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! |
+1 trivema, "i think key is proper system integration so bass doesn’t “boom” but just sounds like low end extension from your main speakers". My system has (4) JL esub 112's, was spec'd and installed by professionals and sounds fantastic. For the purposes of this discussion I've never owned less expensive hardware or even a single sub in an audio room to have a comparison. I doubt that I could spend more money and get better sound. Nor would I accept any less sound quality to save money. |
