Hi all,
Been treated to some great info since recently joining the forums and have been lead to a great deal for a 5.0 system for 80/20 HT/music use.
I am looking to add a sub (probably 1 to start and see if I can convince partner to go for a second down the line.
Room specs are 8m x 3m x 2.5m.
Basically I have a £400-650 budget for a sub and am looking for a sub that’s great for tv and movie watching while also being good for music.
I was informed on my other threat regarding thr 5.0 speakers that an SVS sb1000 pro could be a great fit and I can see why the app would be useful on top of just being a good sub but I also then saw the the pb1000 is a lot cheaper and digs deeper albeit a slightly larger footprint, then there is the REL ht1205 which people seem to compare to the SB2000 but claim it doesn’t dig quite as deep and lastly there is the monoprice 10” THX sub
My current view is that while the monoprice would probably be the price to performance winner it is also a chunker and not sure WAF would go my way. I could push it past the post if it was the V1 for Its circa £400 price with the discount they seem to give but the V2 would be £580 or there a outs which puts it in the same price class as the REL and sb1000 pro while being much much larger. Not sure this one will fly with partner.
REL and sb1000 pro then to me are in a similar price class, Svs gets the app, REL doesn’t and SVS should dip lower but people who have heard REL seem to like it a lot.
Lastly is the older sb1000 or pb1000 non pro version which are considerably cheaper than the aforementioned subs above.
I guess my question is, do people have an opinion on these subs or info that may help me narrow down the list as at the moment I seem to be getting more confused and going round in circles as to what to buy.
I like articulate bass but don’t want to feel like the sub can’t hit the frequencies the movie or tv wants it to hit.
Any advice on these subs or any other sub in the £400-650 range would be much appreciated.
