18-150Hz vs. 28-120Hz? - Page 2

In fairness, their spec doesn't say +/3 db at 18hz. Actually, it doesn't say what the +/- 3db point is at all.

Though I agree, a frequency response should be from it's +/-3db point in a anechoic or quasi-anechoic test. Not many companies do this though. Even some ID companies provide the FR that is in a room. I.e., one well respected one does it in teh middle of a 4000cuft room. Probably somewhat closer to quasi anechoic, but still must have some possible room gain and some boundary gain from the ceiling?

BTW, it is possible that the sub has a tad of output at 18hz when placed in a corner in a closet you know. Geez, you guys are so cynical.

...And if you squint really, really hard, Rosey O'donnell looks a lot like Megan Fox.

Between the too subwoofers would you guys say the HSU STF-2 is a much better subwoofer then the Klipsch SW-450? The HSU STF-2 goes for $349 w/ $37 s/h for a total of $386. The Klipsch in store is $449.
I just think the A2-300 is too big & bulky for the location I want to put it in. If it was a little smaller I would buy it.

I've heard neither, but I'd bet on the HSU. They know how to build subs that deliver excellent bang-for-the-buck.

If you aren't in a rush, the Emotiva Ultra10 is due out later this month at $399. 10" sealed.

If you can wait a bit longer the CS10.2 from Tweak City Audio at $499 delivered could be interesting. Dual 10" ported.

From the two on your list, I would think Hsu (based solely on reputation, I have heard neither).

I couldn't wait & ended up ordering the HSU STF-2 this afternoon. Hopefully by Friday of next week I'll be enjoying some old movies all over again I like the way it looks & hopefully the way it sounds. The A2-300 was just to big & bulky for the location I have in mind.
