Most Precise / Accurate / Tight Sub 2022 for Critical Listening. POLL

Okie dokie. Pulled the trigger on a pair of SVS SB-3000’s. I think bang for buck they are hard to argue with. They also seem to have exceptional customer service. Combine that with a smallish footprint, a reasonable weight and we have a winner.

You crack me up @TLS Guy. Already got your number, bud.

What does that mean?

Oh nothing.

I'm a fan of sealed subs. They seem to have tighter sound for me. I own 4 subwoofers but only one is sealed. The difference is more than meaningful. So I recommend choosing such a design that fits your budget.

Yeah but what models are we talking about?

Fug sealed subs they don't have any ports!!!

So Auralux is safer, eh?

 

[William Lemmerhirt]

I think so, because it does matter. Of the subs you’ve asked about, they’re all more similar than different. But if he’s talking about a one note ported Polk fart box well that’s altogether different then a ported Rythmik or monolith etc.

[auralux]

I see the most votes has been for Rythmik.

@shadyJ really loves Arendal huh? Does the fact that the drivers both face right if you have them along the front wall not wreck anyone’s OCD?

I don't talk about brands. Brands aren't important to me. Design is what matters.

Sound is my OCD, after that I can live with a lot of things to achieve that good sound.

I definitely plan on going sealed! Just trying to pick a pair. Seeing a lot more love for the SVS subs than I expected! I always thought they were just for wall shaking bass and not accuracy. Leaning towards the SB-3000.

Mine is a 15" sealed home brew sub. It is a super performer. I would imagine the pros can do better than I can.

 

[auralux]

Ahhhhhh I am still vacillating about what subs to go with! LMAO. I am guessing this is a common thing...? I think I am going to cancel the SVS order and not even bother.

There are a couple of rhythmik ds1200 drivers and PEQ370 amps on us audiomart for around $650. Building two cabinets or having them built will get you the 2 12" rhythmiks for under $1400.

Haha. Ok…
