how large is your room and what is your budget?

Budget : less than $ 2000.
Thanx.

Dual Epik Sentinels or SVS PB13-Ultra

If your open to a DIY solution the Kappa's make a great pair and keep it in the infinity family(that doesn't matter really).

For that cost you can probably hire a contractor to build the subs for you.


SVS or Epik would be nice too.

I'd look at this though

A single one of those would be very nice.

Just curious, do you have a link to some evidence that substantiates this? I'm not doubting, I know Mark designs some amazing stuff, bu I'd like some more info...

Thanks

I think its more subjective than anything.

There's presently no data to support that claim. It's mere conjecture.

Well I've read more than a couple reports on AVS where people have gone from dual Ultras and been more impressed with the single Submersive.

Granted people tend to over-compensate for their purchases so who knows how much the difference is (if there truly is one).

Again, those are subjective claims. I don't doubt that the Submersive is a super sub, I've read those posts too, but I've yet to see any real anechoic measurements, at max out put, of the Submersive, by a third party as was done with the Fathom and Ultra by Illka last year (and probably never will).

Seaton Submersive...for about $2000 shipped.

I'd also recommend this sub based on what I've read. Additionally, there's also great subs by HSU(dual drive ULS-15), SVS (PB/PC13), Epik and eD. Of course there's the possibilty of a great DIY project as well...WmAx could help you there.

 

[bandphan]

Is there any WAF for the sub? Does size matter, canbiet finish?

Since dual ultras are not within the budget, we can forgo that argument. I like the dual epik recommendation, but Id do the dragons instead.

+1 Dual Dragons is a nice setup.
