Anyways I have a choice to go with either EP500 or 2 SVS PB10-ISD? Any ideas guys?
current place is 16' x 12' x 16'
new place will be 25' x 23' x 10'
Have to accomodate both so I don't necessarily need to upgrade later.
In reply to:If you are looking for output, for the price of the EP500, I would look at the SVS PB-12Plus/2. IMO, it should easily beat the output of the EP500 and dual PB10's....and get you down deep.
Was there a reason you limited yourself to those two choices? If so...scratch my idea.
In reply to:IMO....it should easily have more output. Sound quality is a different story.
For $1200....there are a lot of possibilities.
Right now, if I needed that kind of output and wanted sound quality, I would get a Hsu TN1220 with the 500watt amp. If I found I needed more output, I would add another TN1220. The amp can handle two subs. The downside....they are not living room friendly.
The SVS subs in the wood finishes are gorgeous and big.
In reply to:As in HSU TN1220?My choice for output AND sound quality is the Hsu.
In reply to:
The Hsu has been measured flat, anechoicly, to 18hz, and in-room to 16hz by a third party. Obviously...all rooms are different. The sub has been around a long time.
In reply to:I do not think you are biased at all. Most people do not have the luxury of having all of those subs in the same room to compare. Your opinion is valuable to me. As with some opinions of others that have stirred my towards the HSU VTF2 I was sorely disappointed thinking it would best my older Mirage BPS150 bipolar sub with 2 x 8 inches drivers. It did not go as deep as my Mirage or get to the same output. The Mirage had a bigger enclosure which could have helped. Their opinion maybe was based on the fact the VTF2 did better than their older sub. The Mirage actually was a very good sub at its time...and it wasn't cheap back in 2000 which was close to $1000.
Plus, I have heard the TN1220 compared to my VTF-3, and sound quality wise, it is cleaner.
I have heard two SVS subs in my room...and I thought my VTF-3 was cleaner. Some will call me biased, so if you have a chance to compare, I suggest you do so.
In reply to:
Here are three subs...so you can guess the relative sizes:
SVS PB12+(single driver), my VTF-3, and my STF-2. Remember, the PB12-plus/2 is even bigger.
