It has too look good and also low distortion

 

[mike c]

ultra low end extension at -3db with low distortion

 

[taddy_porter]

Size & finish are of next to no concern to me. Tactile Responsen & Low Distortion would be most important to me.

 

[varkeast]

a good sub should go nice and low (<25hz) with out distorting

 

[Rutlanda]

Svs

I would have to say tactile response and low distortion.

 

[talannar]

Low distortion is good, and I like it to go low...like feel the pipe organ in your soul low.

 

[ca_newbee]

Low distortion... I'm paying to hear things accurately not loudly

 

[Reorx]

I choose Low End Extension, and Low Distortion as well.
I am counting the days till I buy a <20hz sub.

[Mr. Lamb Fries]

Low with little distortion at a high spl. Size and look are not important to me

 

[Tomorrow]

Tactile response is tantamount. Low end extension .... the more the merrrier. And it seems SVS does both quite well!

 

[supervij]

Looks like the masses have already picked the two that are most important to me: low end extension and low distortion. The WAF is of some concern to me, and I admit I do like for things to look good, but ultimately, the most important thing is sound quality.

cheers,

[korgoth]

need something clean and loud that blends in seemlessly. spl and low extention are what i look for, and THD is what i listen for.

 

[jake51s]

To pick two, tactile response and low distortion. Going low is great, and a close third.

 

[mlbillow]

Low distortion is probably number 1 with high SPL and low extension coming in at number 2.

 

[ducker]

Wow... hard to pick just 2... but I ended up picking SPL and Low End Extension.

The other two I'm really concerned about is: Tactile Response and Low Distortion. Tactile response is nice, but very few audio CD's have running low end bass lines. (or low end pipe organ) I love organ music too. maybe my idea/definition of Tactile response is wrong.

Low Distortion seems like a given to me. Who wants high SPL, or great low end extension if it comes with distortion. That's why I didn't pick that one.

 

[jcPanny]

1. Quality of bass: (low end extension, low distortion, etc.)
2. Quantity of bass: Max SPL. Larger rooms require higher SPLs to achieve bass that you can "feel"
3. Looks and size can also be important when your HT doubles as a family room.

 

[Ron Temple]

The only thing I don't care about is the small footprint and wood veneer. More of a performance first kind of guy, but certainly would consider each category for the best of all worlds.

 

[edwelly]

fast and smooth - just how I like my women...

 

[Sheep]

Low THD and Flat low end extension. Thats the sub for me.
