Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Which sub for the rookie?

Yeah, you and Rick head over and meet me at the eD plant in Iowa, it would be an awesome road trip.

Here are two I have heard and both were solid:
PSB 6i ; B&W 600's . I prefer the B&W as more well-rounded and controled, tighter might be a good descrition. But for HT, not sure you could go wrong. For music, the B&W.
This I can recomend as JL knows sub amps and subs better than anybody: JL Gotham . It cost a little more, but should reduce dental costs by shaking your dentures out!

And, of course, you can't ignore the Axiom subs. Like the rest of their line, the value factor is huge and should far exceed what you are entitled to for the cash - what more can you ask for.

I think you missed his budget of $300~$500...

BUDGET! Isn't this the money is no object forum



Almost a year and I finally hit 200 posts. In 50 years I'll hit 10,000. That means I'll be over 100 years old

BUDGET, WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BUDGET!
And the street price of the B&W and PSB are close to $500-ish...kinda. The JL Gotham might be a bit more than he was looking for, but come one, it's pretty freaking cool, even at $12,000.

After all the posts, we have a trade: budget increase to $900 and I have to paint the room. So am going to check out the B&W and some of the others posted here. Thanks for all the quick replies.

Paint the kitchen too! maybe you can increase the budget a little more!

With the increased budget. Hsu and eD. Then again you could get two of the other Hsu or eD subs and still be within budget.

I listened to a JL audio gotham at a local Home audio/video and car audio store a while back. Very impressive! It felt like someone was kicking me in the chest... It was actually too much bass in the small room they had it in, and I was only sitting about 7 feet away from the sub... soo yeah, pretty much it was crazy loud

I'd use the extra money to buy some nuggets.
