I’m certainly not a “sub” expert, and I’m in the market for a clean sounding sub that meets the 5 criteria points that I’ve come up with. The 5 points are: 1) It must be powered 2) It must be clean sounding 3) It must be clean sounding 4) It must be clean sounding, and 5) It must be a good value and cost less than $1k. Did I mention that it must be clean sounding ? Musicality takes precedence over movies. Because of the dollar cap, I realize that buying used is a very real possibility. Consequently, what is looking good to me right now is a used Mirage BPS-400 for 3 reasons – 1) Very hard to beat bang for the buck because they are all used 2) Very good reviews on audioreview.com and audio publications 3) Cosmetically a perfect match for my other piano gloss black speakers.
I would like your feedback if you have personally listened to this sub, and tell me how it stacks up against other subs that you’ve listened to – Is there a better buy ?
