View Full Version : Subwoofer choice?
Ive been told to check out the svs PB10-NSD. Seems like a good choice but would have to pay shipping....
How does the Klipsch - 12" 650W Powered Subwoofer compare?? Could get it locally and now as they have 0% financing...
Do i wait to get the SVS?
I would get the SVS before that Klipsch... That's just me..

consider the eD A3-300 with the upgraded driver $505 shipped
Are you talking about the Synergy SUB-12? I'd say there's better choices, but not knowing budget, room size, and restrictions it's kinda hard to make suggestions
The PB10 is tough to beat. It is one amazing package. There are not too many other subs that have the winning combination of extensions, linearity and output in a $450 package.
CADOBHuK 03-08-08, 12:13 PM not too many but there are some :>
id be surprised if a3-300 didn't beat it..but of course, it has wait time

eD A3-300 all the way
whats your budget?

Just out of curiosity, what is the basis of your preference of the eD A3-300 over the 20-39?
I don't mind people throwing out their opinions, but I would like to these suggestions backed up with some reasoning. This way, the OP can make a informed decision. What is important to you is not necessarily what is important to the OP.

i was waiting for u to show up
i was waiting for u to show upI'm here every day. I don't see your answer though.

I doubt you will.
CADOBHuK 03-09-08, 11:17 AM I can answer for him, if you will. A3-300 has similar specs, and is very much cheaper. Which fits the general relative pattern between two brands.
domingos1965 03-09-08, 11:56 AM I doubt you will.
unlike u and him i don't spend my life posting
i have a bussiness to run
someone has to pay for the $10000 worth of HT equipment bought in the last 4 months
Wow....i had to go look at something it was driving me nuts....so i went to best buy to hear the klipsh....well the 12" display was missing so i cranked up the 10" model.....holy crap thats disapointing. As soon as i started cranking things up one of the best buy guys comes in, kinda looked like a manager or something and started being all pissy. "Well what do you want out of a sub"? Uh.....some bass?? Ground shaking picture falling tight clean bass i told him.....something that none of the subs there had....i selected a $279 12" jbl sub....wow....i think i have some jcwhitney $5 subs out in the garage that sound better than that.
I told the guy i have a KLH sub with two 6" drivers that sound better than anything they have there and he looked at me like i was an idiot. Well all i have to say that theres no sense in spending $400 on a sub thats weaker than my $50 KLH sub. That thing impresses me for the money. This was before they started making the super tiny systems to look like a bose. . Its about 12" x 12" x 24" so it is kinda small with some big output. It has no amp on it though and probralby only handles 50w rms per channel.
So for now i moved my KLH bass module into the HT room and that will hold me over till i can get the a3 300 or the svs.

your room is about 3200cu ft. i have stacked a2-300s, and was told by ed that their out put stacked would equal 1 a5-300 with 550 wt amp. i think that the a3-300 would fill that room, but just barely. when i had just the ed subs i thought the finish was o.k., but now that i have other subs, i just cant stand the finish.
its a hard decision right now, as alot of sub manufactuors are backordered now. i would wait and save for an epik knight, or a mfw-15. but that is just me.the same person that is wondering what to do with 2 a2-300s that are so ugly that i cant stand them!
Very interesting since you have multiple posts a day and personally attack them. I think asking if you have personal experience with both subwoofers is a valid question when you say it will beat it hands down. Beat it how? SPL? Agility? Cost? Extension?
People have different tastes and buy according to different criteria. Some can't stand eD's finish or question their past and are willing to pay a little extra for a nicer product. Or looking for a more articulate sub for mainly music.

Welcome to the world to ID subs :D
warlord260 03-09-08, 01:32 PM Very interesting since you have multiple posts a day and personally attack them. I think asking if you have personal experience with both subwoofers is a valid question when you say it will "kill it." Kill it how? SPL? Agility? Cost? Extension?

kill what? i reread entire thread and didnt seem to find anyone saying one sub killing another?
did i miss something?
Ironmike86 03-09-08, 01:57 PM wasn't kill it but post #7 and #9 is where it starts. I would agree with post #9 unless post #7 has heard both subs? Then the post would have more merit.
Now this is a reasonable statement. But, no, you cannot answer for him.
I can answer for him, if you will. A3-300 has similar specs, and is very much cheaper. Which fits the general relative pattern between two brands.
So is this one.
not too many but there are some :>
id be surprised if A3-300 didn't beat it..but of course, it has wait time
Where as this one has no basis in fact.
Are u kidding me

Without having had both subs, you cannot make this claim. I don't believe he has had either sub.
If you want to make recommendations based on anecdotal data, then state your sources in your post. To just make an unsubstantiated claim of one product besting another without any personal experience with either or both products is ignorant. To claim one manufacturer is superior to another without experience with both product lines is just Fanboy jabber and does nothing but diminish the value of any research you may have done. When it comes to competent, comparable subs, I doubt that statements like 'blows it away', 'beats it hands down', or other such terms are ever valid.
I see you had time to post this.

I am not sure, but there is an ~$80 price difference as well. And in this class that is significant...

right mr EPIK lover or is it SVS lover?

My mistake. I was reading some other threads in background to this one and took his post in the same vain. Sometimes I get tired of this king of the hill match that goes on around here sometimes. Just because one person prefers it doesn't mean another person will, assuming that the subwoofers are in the same league.
Goodluck Jodean. There are several great choices in the price category if you're looking at the 20-39, from eD, Epik, SVS, av123, and many of the other brands that you'll find mentioned in these forums. Each have their pluses and minuses but I'm sure you'll be happy with what you purchase unless you stay around here, then upgraditis kicks in :D
jhan1000 03-09-08, 04:50 PM right mr EPIK lover or is it SVS lover?
In defense of Ransac, he practices what he preaches. He also rarely recommends a subwoofer in absolute terms (e.g. one subwoofer kills another). When he makes a recommendation, he states why he is making that recommendation. I hardly consider him a SVS or Epik fanboy.
