Omega Supreme Audioholic May 9, 2005 174 0 18 Alabama Jan 14, 2024 #1 My dad's sub on his old Boston Acoustics Sub/Sat speaker system stopped working. I was going to give him a replacement and upgrade from his old sub. I want to keep it around $400 or less but noticed the good reviews on the RSL Speedwoofer10S MKII for a little more. While looking on Accessories4less I noticed they had a referb Def Tech Descend DN10 for the same price $449. I couldn't find any reviews of the DN10 though. I'm sure both are good but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Thanks for the help. https://rslspeakers.com/products/speedwoofer-10s-mkii/ https://www.accessories4less.com/ma...pact-powered-subwoofer/1.html#!specifications

They also fudge specs and in reality are non linear and a little bit one note wonders. The speedwoofer is just better overall. Linear, controlled, better extension, and output. Definitely familiar with WAF, but MAF is new! Lol Reactions: lovinthehd

Thought I'd seen the later generation of DefTec was getting better spec details....perhaps for the very smallest box they're a contender but who wants that?

Omega Supreme Audioholic May 9, 2005 174 0 18 Alabama Jan 14, 2024 #12 Haha. Yeah I guess MAF is a new one. W should really be replaced as Woman instead of wife so it covers everything. Good to know about Def Tech. I don't get to keep up with the HT world like I used to 20 years ago...wife, kids, job and all. Thanks for the advice.

We have a forthcoming review of the Deftech Descend DN15. I don't want to spoil too much, but the DN15 is extremely linear, moreso than most subs.

The statement about linearity might the first time ever said about a DT sub. Especially against “most” subs. That would actually be really great since many people like he brand. Then we could possibly recommend a sub from DT. Reactions: lovinthehd
