While moving furniture around last night for new floors, I realized how dang heavy my old Adire Audio Rava sub is. (65 pounds!) And it's not small, I mean not huge, but it takes up some space. About 18x18x18. At the time I bought this sub (2002 I think) it was one of the best values going. It was $399. It's a 12" sealed sub in a black oak cabinet. Very nice looking too. Quite honestly I don't even remember the whys of why it was so good...I just did some research, bought it, and it's still kicking butt. But, it's HEAVY. And a PITA to move around. SO I simply started wondering if, this being nearly 20 years later, if I can get something as good (or better) in a smaller footprint.
Specs are as follows:
Drivers: One 12"
Amplifier: 250 Watts
MFR: 27 Hz - 160 Hz - 3 dB
THD: < 3% at 95 dB
Dimensions: 18" H x 18" W x 18" D
Weight: 65 Pounds
Any thoughts? My reciver is an Onkyo TX-NR709. and I have just two mains - Paradigm mini-monitors. The sub manual is attached.
Thanks a bunch, in advance!
