    Audioholics: please tell me if I’m crazy (for considering a subwoofer purchase)

    Here is a related thread @ AVS...likely derived from what started here....there is no real way of measuring what makes a sub tight, articulate snappy or other hyperbole often used in describing sub sounds...

    FS: Deep Sea Sounds Mariana 18s

    Good luck with the sale....that SI18hst is a phenomenal driver....perhaps you're going Funk Audio across the front...I know you ordered some speakers from him not long ago...have you received them yet? You've changed a few subs in recent years and finally settled on the DSS...it would be...

    Hsu Research VTF-2 mk5 Subwoofer Review

    Fwiw...the RBH I-12 was able to handle louder more demanding movie sequences in a direct comparison vs. the LV12R by a member over at AVS. The behavior exhibited by the LV12R was unusual as it tried to fill the same moderate sized room as the I-12 H2H. Musically it sounded fine apparently...

    SVS PB-2000 / PSA V1500 / HSU VTF-15H MK2 / Seaton MFW-15 Turbo SS

    Svs outlet will likely not ship to Canada and circumvent it's only ID retailer....which Imo is unfortunate but understandable. Exchange rate currently is a deal breaker Id say.... it's nearly 0.35-0.37 per...this will likely peg Canadian pricing for the new ultras ~2500 and ~3k for the...

    Polk LSiM 703 thoughts

    Ring radiators typically have tight dispersion windows...hence why some mfg are reluctant to use them. You can plainly see within the Polk statement they made several alterations to enhance the dispersion radiation that exist with RR in general. Personally....I'd take a speaker with a well...

    SVS PB-2000 / PSA V1500 / HSU VTF-15H MK2 / Seaton MFW-15 Turbo SS

    I'd say both the PSA and Hsu will be pushing your budget of 1.5k cdn and would be a good choice. Svs PB2000 is likely your best option at <1.5k cdn...perhaps look for used deals on Svs Ultras @ canuck audio mart (CAM) with the newer 16U release in the coming days/or weeks...thou Svs tend to...

    SVS Ultra 16 Subwoofers

    Yea....I started off as a fan...my first real foray into subs came when I purchased the pb10 nsd...I only dreamt of owning the ultra models at that time. Fast forward a couple of years...I eventually had a custom sub built and it was amazing, likely why I was never truely impressed with...

    SVS Ultra 16 Subwoofers

    I doubt you'll have buyers remorse going with Seaton....my past experiences with Acoustic Elegance and now TSAD...they both sounded better than the past Ultra.... IMHO. Likely, after my last two subs... I've since... being chasing my tail and why I elected to go in the direction...I did. You...

    What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

    Ha...I ordered a couple of discs from Amazon.ca using my wife's account...I mentioned to her that I had and she brushed it off because she hates Roger Hodgson voice and Supertramp in general. .. the other was Cream live 2005 concert at the Albert Hall in London. When she got the email notice...

    What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

    Santos Rosewood is nice but I would not call it funky...maybe in comparison to some other mfgs offerings...his other subs....make mine looks ordinary...lol. What's funky though is not having any controls for on the fly adjustments...like simple gain attenuation.... any and all adjustment are...

    What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

    New sub arrived a few days ago. No...EQ...location not yet determined...essentially plug and play with quick room setup...listened to a few test tracks over the past couple of days...I could use a bunch of buzz words but if I could use one in describing how it's sounds... it would be...

    RIP Keith Emerson

    One of my favorite...tracks... Being listening to a lot of classic rock lately....I didn't grow up a huge ELP fan. It took some time but I've grown into one and absolutely appreciated their talent.

    Hsu Research ULS-15 mk2 Subwoofer Review

    Nice to see Audioholics reviewing Hsu subs. I'm sure the good Doctor would readily approve this review...fives stars with only one tiny con...another who comes to mind is Shadyj....we all knew his deep passion for Hsu products.

    Why are the PSA charts misleading?

    All the kidding aside...we all know his craftsmanship is second to none. From the little I know and can understand from the graphs & charts at BD...I believe Nathan takes extreme care in design objectives to achieve unsurpassed sound quality with minimal harmonic distortion throughout all the...

    FLOORSTANDING SPEAKER COMPARISON

    Luis....I opted for towers vs. bookshelves...I prefer lookng at a full speaker from the ground up..hence why I switched from a monitor. Good advice had been offered .....imo whether you go tower or monitor..I would not want to forgo the sub. You'll have to decide what suits your...

    Why are the PSA charts misleading?

    I have one on order....ETA...Aug 25th...;). Frankly....tired of re-thinking my purchases and those what if...I'm fairly certain this will be my last sub. Unless of course... somebody builds a prettier looking sub...jk.:)

    Why are the PSA charts misleading?
