Definitive Technology SuperCube 8000 Subwoofer Overview

[KEW]

...Really manufacturers don't help themselves with ridiculous "puffs" like that. People are not that stupid as a rule, though some are. The careful ask here. With that info, I and others can not steer a customer to them, like we can and do to SVS and Rhythmic for instance. They have useful reliable data on their products.

I had one of those before a power surge took it out. Awesome subwoofer for it's size, It dug pretty deep, easily mid 20s and had great slam. We got the AS-P4000 as a replacement and it's not nearly as good. Plays decently deep and is loud but it's really boomy. The volume knob is messed up as well, move it a millimeter and it starts bottoming out.

Yeah, I remember reading your writeups on the subwoofers. If I recall, the AS-P4000 had 2 ports and Athena decided to add another model that had a 12" woofer. If perhaps rather than redesigning the whole subwoofer line they had continued to produce the models they originally released and used their R&D funds to develop a 12" model of the same design concept and really put a great effort into it to make it the flagship of the line they would have had better luck. At the time I thought the AS-P400 looked fantastic with the grill on and off. The slim design and overall aesthetics where exceptional for the price.

So TLS,

Riddle me this?

Where would you put your $ if you had a choice -non BIY/DIY?

I'm going to guess that Rythmik is on his list. XD

Ya, he mentioned both Rhythmik and SVS by name, but there could be something else lurking out there...
