Reference Sub

[dega37]

All,

I am looking for a reference sub for audio production and trying to get something accurate. I am currently looking at the Perlisten R212s but it is a bit pricey and my room is only 12 x 15. If I need to spend $5500 for an accurate sub, so be it, but just wanted to send this out to the wider audience.

Thanks,
Tom

Just super quick. PSA and Rythmik are where I’d start. More affordably, HSU offers great value.

If you don't intend to cross them over very high (above a 100hz) then you have a lot of options. When you say reference, what is that to you as many would expect it to mean different things?

Start with products that have been tested and reviewed on this site. You can do a search here.

Reference meaning exactly what you put in is what comes out.

By that standard, you should be more worried about what the room acoustics will do to the low frequencies rather than the subwoofers themselves.
