Recommendation for a sub

[little wing]

Hello All,

Right now, I am using an Energy S8.2 sub. I use a Yahmaha RXV2500 as a preamp to an HK amp. My Speakers are the Infinity crescendo. I am looking for a tight, very accuarate, musical sub. I am not interested something that will shake my house. Tight and musically accurate is what I am looking for. Does anyboby have any suggestions? And Oh yeah.............. money is an object. Thank you

They make very good musical sub woofers.

So how much do you want to spend?

Yeah, when you say money is an object, it usually is helpfull if you let people know how much money that might be.

You might take a look at the HSU Research VTF-3 MkII or the Adire Audio Rava II.

...or the Hsu VTF-2 or STF-1. Jaxvon will verify the musicality of the STF-1...it's outstanding. It just won't knock your roof off. With these you're looking at $499 or $299 (new...don't forget used).

I would recommend this for music sub. Sealed enclosure with 2 12" drivers, and is very tight and accurate.
This one can be had new for 399.00

Not sure if you were talking about me, but I sent a PM (Private Message) to you, so check that one...

Also you may want to look at the Outlaw LFM-1 sub

A musical sub is a just a sub that can't go low. Take a look at this sub (SVS 20-39PCi $599) I have its pc-plus brother and it is amazing I use it for both music and movies. It is very accurate, loud, and tight. You can change the freq. to 25hz if you don't want it to shake your house as much. You will be losing what the music was meant to sound like by doing so because the sub will only play what the artist put on the music. I really suggest going with either a svs or hsu because they are a 4th of the cost of a sub you could buy in a store.

Uhmm, I don't know about that statement......
The one I had recommended will hit a 20hz signal, and easily be loud at a 30hz signal (106db). And is geared more for music over HT.

Take a look at this sub (SVS 20-39PCi $599)

EDIT::Also so Purple Haze knows, that SVS sub recommendation above is a cylinder sub, and is quite tall. Great sub, but also a tad over your price range. 599.00 and I beleive its 100.00 shipping.
700.00 total, but it has had good reviews.

 

[jmgillespie]

Shipping is actually only $23.40 flat rate. He doesn't say anything about size specifications so it being tall does not matter. Also my statement about a sub that goes low is musical too is true. A bigger sub like a 15" would be less musical in the sense that it would not be as tight.
