Okay, I finally looked up the supercube to see what I am missing.

First off, $1199USD is MSRP.

Second, they're quoting a FR of 13-200Hz. THIRTEEN? I don't freaking think so. Notice the complete absence of any +/- db in that rating.

Even The Absolute Sound review only claims "mid 20's" extension.

Plus, the damn thing wears a black sock.

Not for me.

Sounds like one of those old Sunfire True Subwoofers. 10 inch woofer, pair of 10 inch radiators.

DT's specs certainly do not conform to industry standards thats for sure. Whats funny, like you have already said is the first review DT quotes mid 20's extension and they claim down to 13. What I don't understand is why they would quote that on their website because that in itself shows that their specs are misleading.

I guess I could claim 3hz for my PB13 as that is about where it hits 0 on the REW graphs. \:D

sonicboom just listed the new svs pc12 plus for $1049. pre order price . thats in my budget and i would assume get me all the bennifits of the pb12 plus for $500 cheaper . it has the same driver 12.4 and 575 watt amp . I dont mind the cylinder shape either . my questions are if the cylinder would sound different to the box and if so , how ? . and secondly how would it compare to the ep 500 which would be the same price < thanks guys
