Hi - I am a newbie and struck in finding a good sub that pleases me!! I'd appreciate your inputs.
Budget: $1500 max
Replacing: None (auditioned Aperion Bravus 8D, 12D; Martin Logan Dynamo 500D, 700D). 12D came close but didn't satisfy me at low volume levels and functional headaches with Denon 4308CI.
Prospective sub: SVS PB12-Plus - whats worrying me is that I'd end up paying $200 shipping charges if I dont like this!!
(will not consider Velodyne, Polk, Klipsch, Infinity - not subs for my ears)
AVR: Denon 4308CI (over spent under utilized sucker!!)
Watch/Listen: 60% PS3 blu ray movies, 30% audio CD's, 10% HTPC music/movies
Speakers: Fronts - Aperion Intimus 6T's (2); Center - Aperion Intimus 6C (1); Surrounds - Aperion 5DB's (2); Extremely satisfied!!
Players: PS3 60 GB (HD audio via LPCM)
Listening area: 18' x 14' x 10' (~2500 ft^3)
Things that would satisfy me: Tight, punchy bass at low volume levels (< -25db, > -35db master volume on Denon, SPL @75 at listening position); must scare people when needed!!
Thanks a lot!!
