hoping one of you can help me decide which sub to keep. i'm asking because:
1) I'm still pretty much an audio noob
2) I don't think I have great ears for judging sub quality
3) I never heard of Tannoy until it was given to me
Here's the dilemma.
I was given a 10in Tannoy sub that I could use to replace my old 8in Klipsch. They both sound pretty nice to me, which do you think is the best match for my Axioms?
My Klipsch - KSW 100 (1996)
frequency response 34Hz-120Hz±3dB
max acoustic output 101dB SPL
maximum acoustic output 101dB SPL
low pass crossover Continuously variable from 40-120Hz, 24dB/octave slope above 120Hz
subwoofer K-1048-K 8" (20.32cm) Fiber-composite cone
phase Switchable 0 or 180 degrees
enclosure material Medium density fiberboard construction (MDF)
enclosure type Bass reflex via side-mounted port
inputs 2) Line level RCA phono jacks, 1) Line level LFE (unfiltered) RCA phono jack and 2) High level speaker terminals

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
