Dayton RS1200K vs. Epik Valor

[Moron]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

System:

Onkyo TX-SR705 receiver
Focal 7W4411 woofers, 7" diameter - 2 per cabinet
Audiom TLR tweeters - 1 per cabinet

Need a subwoofer that will fit in a 22.5" H X 22.5" W X 22.5" D cabinet. My listening preferences are Barry Manilow, Queen, Paul Anka, opera, Roy Orbison, etc. Use is strictly for TV and music. I do not have a HT system and do not want one. Wife would not sit next to me on sofa if I did. Am seeking the best for the buck in the $550 - $600 range that will offer the best clean reproduction of music without boomy bass. Don't need bass that will rattle the fillings out of my teeth.

Because of cabinet size restriction, I am looking closely at the Dayton RS1200K 12" kit, and the Epik Valor. Am a bit uncomfortable in the lack of reviews available on the Dayton. Any feedback would be appreciated. Also, would like other recommendations.

Thx,

Don

Go ahead and scratch the Epik off your list. They aren't taking any new orders and they couldn't tell me when they thought they might. It took them a few days just respond after numerous emails and phone calls

I just ordered eD A5-350 from Elemental designs. Right now they have a free amplifier upgrade(550w up from 350w) and matte finish upgrade. I have one of their subs in my truck and the bass reproduction is incredible for both music and movies (when I'm in park of course)

It is just a few buck over your budget and that is with the shipping. Its alot of bang for the buck. I don't think many subs can compete in this price range, but I'm no proclaimed audiophile. I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with eD and their customer service is top notch.
