Other than no extra unwanted noises? No. The SDX15 just disappears normally, like a well integrated/calibrated sub should. Extra deep LFE from movies or low bass from organ music is "there" like it should be. So I feel that not noticing (rattling, buzzes, port chuffing) the subwoofer is good.

So for me a subjective good criteria, is not noticing the speakers or the subwoofer. If I crank up the sub level above calibration -- then I notice the sub.
Well that sounds brilliant! I had given some thought to sending my Tumult to Robot Underground for a re-cone, but am having a hard time deciding if i should trade-in the Tumult and go with an SDX-15 or get my Tumult fixed for $110 to complete my subjective SQ thread.

Honestly I may go the re-cone route, since theres already so much objective information about the SDX-15 at this point. Thanks again Ilkka


If you don't have a BFD for your sub, get one fast!
If you don't have REW, get it now!
