Deep, earth shattering, accurate bass and lots of SPL's to go with it. We're talking shake the pictures off the walls deep, and scare the crap out of you dynamic, for those suspense thriller movies.

I want accurate, clean bass and a lot of it Stupid grin factor has to be high (you know what I'm talking about). Of course the room is a big factor, but a good sub should give good tactile response without sounding like "one note". Bass should be articulate and have definition enough so that individual tones are easily distinguished.

 

[Boeckelmann]

accurate is the most important. who cares if the sub can output 1000000 watts if it can't be accurate to what it's driving?

 

[STRONGBADF1]

Lots of good clean bass. If it's loud and deep but has lots of distortion what's the point? It's all important but sound quality is #1 on my list.

deep extension, and loud, clean response.

 

[Bryce_H]

Quality of reproduction of sound the way the director intended it. After all that is what we are striving for in all this madness. Of course a sub needs to look nice, but frankly I'm not as concered about it. After all, once the lights go down for the movies you don't see the sub, you hear and FEEL it.

Good subs...

Even though I'm relatively new to HT, I have listened to different speakers and their bass sounds. I'd have to say good tight bass is the most important thing to consider when selecting a sub. Aesthetics are also considered.

What features are most important in a home theater subwoofer?

Quality and accuracy of LFE playback of course!
I think that quality and accuracy is what every audiophile on this site is looking for out of every piece of equipment that they own.

Contest Question: What features are most important in a home theater subwoofer?

Accuracy of LFE response for me. Its important to go low and do so in a manner that will shake my walls when a soundtrack requires but I listen to music as much as watch movies so I want an accurate and high quality sound.

Accurate, tight bass in paramount in a good subwoofer. Extension is not so important, as there is not too much media down in the subsonic world. Nevertheless, it should have headroom and extension that could meet all needs.

 

[tungstenmw]

I chose quality and accuracy. When I'm looking for subwoofers I always look at what frequencies can be output by the sub. If the sub is rated to output 20Hz - 200Hz and it doesn't actually hit those frequencies then the manufacturer has just wasted my time and totally disregarded my whole basis for getting their subwoofer.

 

[patnshan]

With a sub, quality is the most important thing. If it can go low, but is sloppy, it is not a sub that I want. If it goes loud, but sloppy, that is also a sub I do not want.

A good sub is one that does what it is designed to do, very well. A sub designed to go low should do so cleanly. A sub that is designed to go loud, should do so cleanly.

small form factor / good looks... and clear clean bass up to 80Hz. Power isn't the goal really... just enough to fill my small 1500 cubic ft room.

 

[Mr. Lamb Fries]

Low, Clean, and loud... at a good price

I would rather wait to purchase, than get something I would not be happy with in the long run.

 

[sk60]

Contest Question: What features are most important in a home theater subwoofer? Deep bass, strong asthetics, high quality, clean lows.

 

[mlbillow]

I would have to say clean / accurate bass. And the more SPL's, the better.

 

[majorloser]

What features are most important in a home theater subwoofer?

DEEP BASS!

Accurate, clean and high db.

A nice piano black or cherry finish doesn't hurt either

Av123 sub

I look for deep extension and maximum output in a smooth manner. I listen to music and movies and use my sub for both so accuracy is a key. The sub doesn't need to look special in any way, but it can't be too ugly either. simple black boxes are fine.

I need it to look pretty.
The 'wife' demands it.

'I' want it to sound louder, clearer, and deeper then my mains, of which all have 12" woofers in them. Extension is important because I will be building a home soon, and I want a large theater room, so it needs to be able to move volume as well as sound good.
