Got a new subwoofer.

[Sheep]

Hello,

After much time, I bit the bullet and bought a new subwoofer. Well, I didn't really bite a bullet as it wasn't very expensive (compared to some other people).

I bought an Athena AS-P400 subwoofer off a member from this forum. At first I didn't know what to expect. I have only heard a couple of their speakers and their newer subs.

I must say, this thing blew me away. Clean, powerful output. It is a way better subwoofer then my other sub. Very nice build on it too. Easy to use front volume level and crossover knobs. Its a front ported design and its very clean. My last subwoofer wasn't to bad but this is a huge improvement as far as THD goes.

I will be posting a review once complete as this subwoofer has very little as far as reviews go.

I had a bit of time to play around but I'm still getting it dialed in.

Heres some pics.

Looks good, Sheep. I'll be anxious to hear how it works out for you.

Thanks,


I just started the review. Finished up to setup, and I will begin my Music, Movie, and sine wave sections tomorrow. Hopefully finished tomorrow(today) or a day after.

I know audioholics reviews take years(or seems like ) but I have lots of time on my hands.

how does it compare to your old sub?

Sheep - nice sub. It's HUGE compared to your Energy. I know that Athena sub has a ton of power, and can "walk" it's way around a room.

Is that sub in the first photo on the left part of a Logitech X5500 - the 10"? How do you like that for pc?

Is that a concrete floor in your family room, or is that a basement? Acoustics must be tough, especially with the walls. The A/V stand is cool - very industrial looking.

Its louder and deeper. By alot.


My energy was great in my old 8x10 room. But once I moved into my new 12x16 room it lost its charm. Its 1500cubic feet, which isn't alot by todays standards, but she just couldn't please me anymore....Maybe i shoudn't have called it "she"


The review is coming along nicely. I didn't work on it today though, as I slept instead. This coming day, I will do music and movie stuff and finish it off. Its actually turing into a very long review. I hope my humor will keep it interesting.

Thanks buck,

The Athena is alot bigger. I was suprised by its size. From what I've heard, it keeps up with my mians to the volume level I like to watch movies at.

The silver sub is my Z2200's sub. Its an 8inch 120wrms, 240 peak. its only 2.1 but it really draws you into games. For music, I EQ the heck out of it as I hate brightness.

Yes its a concrete floor in my parents basement . Its bright without the carpet, but it helps bass response. The walls are laughin plaster boards and they have a very ugly plaster design on them. If I am still living here when we reno I will post pics for sure. We started a reno in the room next to mine (same size) and there was a tonne of plaster that came out of it. Literally a tonne. Every wall had double patster board.

Yeah I really like the stand. Very solid and goes with the TV well.
