Wow. As you all know far more than I ever will on subs, can you suggest a couple of musical sealed subs, say no more than $700 or so. Something good musically that will compliment my M22s. They'll be through a Rega Planet CD player and a Pioneer VSX1019AH receiver.

I like the look of the SVS SB12 Plus based on what everyone is saying, but their sealed units are out of stock and awaiting a new version (the SB12-NSD - anyone know when they are coming out - if that is an option?).

Thanks again. This forum is awesome!

I don't have the newer EP350, but many call it very musical. Factory Outlet price is $682.

I love a good pair of 'passive radiators' myself.

There is nothing musical about Axiom subwoofers or any subwoofer for that matter.

As much as I am a sub design geek, I havn't listened to a lot of sealed subs.

I agree that the EP350 is an excellent sub for music as will pretty much any sub designed by Axiom. They do not seem interested in compromising music quality to gain boom factor. Unfortunately, the EP350 is not sealed.

I like the look of the ED A7S 450, but at $850 before shipping its already over your budget.

I agree in principle, but some manufacturers have been known to bump certain frequencies to give their subs more thump for movies. Jay found a little of this in some of the subs he looked at, including one from SVS (can't remember which one).
