Ok guys I've got a dilemma. I just recently got a pair of RVX-54's for a REALLY good price, 300 apiece brand new. I couldn't pass them up for that price. I have them on a yamaha 1700 receiver and they sound good... to about 75hz which is the bottom of their rated response. So obviously there is a big hole at the bottom of my music, movies and games.

So the wife and I live in a loft apt that has about 18ft ceilings over the living room and the air volume is beyond huge since the apt is about 20ish ft wide as well. So at this point I've pretty much conceded getting a sub that can completely fill the space for 2 reasons, it would probably be out of my price range and I'd rather not have neighbors complaining. So I'm really looking for a sub that can fill in the bottom end at moderate volumes at most.

Now here's the kicker and final requirements. The 54's are silver cause those were the only ones on sale and to have a WAF above zero the sub needs to be silver too and not HUGE physically. I'm looking at about 500 TOPS, and would be happier at 400 bucks for it.

Anyone have any ideas? I've looked at SVS and they have some silver ones but they are borderline large, the only klipsch sub in silver is the 10" reference. Does eD have the ability to paint their subs silver? Or do they only come in that black color? Any other suggestions?

Maybe this one will do. I have no experience with KEF subs, but this
one might with a 12" woofer, and 300w amp in silver looks pretty nice.

I can't post a link for some reason but you can look for
a KEF PSW3500 in silver.

Best of luck....vardo

Yeah that KEF is a little out of my price range, although it does look pretty nice and would probly make the wife happy. But I'm looking to spend no more than 500. I know I can get the SVS 10 in silver, and I'm interested in the eD subs too, but if I can't get them in silver they might not be an option. Their $350 sub options could be right if in silver. Anyone else have an option?

You can the KEF in silver from "one call" (one word no space) for about $500. Origonally
sold for over a grand. It has an oval shape, 15"d X 18"h X 24" d.
The black and maple ones are still over a grand.......vardo

Ahh interesting, anyone have this KEF 3500? Is it worth my 500ish bucks? Or am I paying more for the style than the sound?

Use can also check with eD and see if they would be willing to send you
an A2-250 painted in silver........link

Other than that I know SVS sells subs in silver, but right now are out of
stock. Might give them a call/email to see when the silver subs will
be in stock.....vardo
