Hello, I have recently bought a new audio system (a 5.0) that I'm very pleased with, but I would like some more UMF (it lacks bass in my opinion, it's not a surprise since it's only a 5.0 system). I Would like a punchy and detailed sub that isn't to expensive, maybe around 400$ and max 550$.
So here is the "twist", the system is a proson inphase (an uncommon Swedish company) and what I have heard they are cheap for the performance you get (I will list the specs), they cost around 1250$ with a rx-v775 here in Sweden. So I was thinking that if the system is at a good price/performance, maybe I should buy the sub from proson too? do you recommend their 8", 10" or 12" sub pros/cons? or are their any other speakers that I should consider?
