Dr. House this article is right on point. A quote from it by Ian Colquhoun as follows: "If you really want “tight” bass, then you need to concentrate on the main speakers and amplifier combination because that is where those mid-bass frequencies are and should be generated."
INSERT SEMI HIJACK PASSAGE HERE I used to have an SVS PCi25-31 sub and it was musical. Now I have an SVS PC-Ultra and it's also musical. In fact when I play my favorite concert DVDs they sound about the same. The main difference between the two is that with the Ultra I can hear (feel) low frequencies in movies that I never knew were there before. Plus it can shake picture on walls of rooms that don't directly connect with the room it is in. (Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, scene 53) And that pisses off the guy down the street who used to brag about his Martin Logan Depth 1 sub.
