Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions M60 + Sub

I don't believe you need a sub that powerful (nor that expensive) for your room volume.

I have never heard a Polk sub but from what I have read they do not make the best of subs. I think I would shop around for something else.

wid:

My thanks for your recommendation; other people have said they know nothing about Polk. I don't know if that's marketing, or a poor product.

wid:

For my sized room, I just need a list of recommended vendors; I think I can find the size I need. My hybrid amp has sub O/Ps (if that makes any difference).

SVS?
HSU?

Thanks for your knowledge-base.

Hsu or Svs would be great choices for you. There is also Velodyne, Paradigm and Mirage. I'm sure others will be able to think of more.

Rick:

The EP350's are $725 CDN vs $399 (US or CDN)? for the VTF-2 MK 2. Which way to go? Reading the specs, the HSUs seem to out-class the EP's. am I missing something?

Rick:

If I told the fellow who offered me the Polks at originally $1899 for $1000, that I would give him $500 or $750 tops, would that change your opinion. I know you've never heard them, so I don't really expect a yes or no. And
given that he lives in Toronto and can't unload them may speak volumes. Just the same, a bargain is a bargain. I can't see that any sub is so good that money- value wouldn't overtake their performance.

And no, they aren't hot - he just got stuck (he's a dealer).

Your not missing anything, the Hsu subs are a great sub for the money.

wid:

My thanks;

You have given me an answer by which to go by!

Best Regards

Tamzarian, I ran a Hsu VTF2 MkII, and then later a VTF3 MkII, in a room the same size as yours. Both sounded very nice. Wid's giving you good advice--the Hsu subs are extremely capable.
