I would have to rewire my house for one of those. I'm a Paradigm fan and most of my speakers and my current subwoofer are Paradigm but that is just too much juice for 1 sub. Rather run multiple smaller subs rather than have to rewire my house.
I love how you can say such an opinion as fact when the sub has not been released yet and you have not heard it. Right now price is all that can be compared

It is 100% that the SUB 15 will have less output than the PB13. I don't think there is any sealed commercial subwoofer than can exceed the output of a PB13. Also, this is not even Paradigm's flagship sub.
For sake of comparison, Paradigm's Servo v2 (15''), Paradigm's second best sub, only outputted 99dB at 20Hz, 104dB at 30Hz, and 102dB at 50Hz at 2M away ground plane. The PB13, outputted 108dB at 20Hz, 112dB at 31Hz, and 116dB at 50hz. This is equivalent to more than 3 Servo v2s. Do you think the SUB 15 have any chance of beating the PB13?

I was proving my point that the PB13 is guaranteed to have more output than the SUB 15.
Sound quality should be better, I don't know if it'll be better than the PB13, I'm just speculating. The Servo v2's sound quality was not on par with the PB13.

The new Sub12 and Sub15 will be JL Audio f112 and f113 competition. The JL's capable of displacing slightly more air.
The new Paradigm subs are suilt like tanks,I saw the Sub12 at my local Paradigm/JL dealer.
I may buy the Sub 15 and Sub 12 and stack thembesides my f113's and f112's.
Real nice subs.
For pure output the SVS Ultra and new Plus will displace more air,where the SVS takes ouver is in output from 30Hz down to tune.No surprises here,anyone who understands a bit how a sealed fares versus a ported will make an easy deduction here.
my question is two sub 12's or one sub 15 ? my listening area is about 17 long 13 wide 8 high . paradigm 100's cc 690 adp 590 anthem mca 50 avm 50. my great room total is about 40 long 25 wide 8 high , with the listening room in that space , 50 50 ht music . i was told doing a 5.1 i would be better with two subs instead of a single sub . the cost of doing a 7.1 system would be more , amps speakers ect... input please ? want to do it right first time . putting wire in walls soon. thanks in advance .
I'd go with two Sub-12's, you'll get a little more output(depending on where you place them-phase, etc.) and smoother response, I like having two subs, I use one for lower frequncies, and the other set on a higher crossover frequncy to fill in mid bass, sounds great. But of course you don't have to do that. MO
My sub is my end table. It supports my cigar humidor and ash tray. Of course, with some demo material, those have to be relocated or they move on their own.
