great points. When I look at the SVS vs DD-12
SVS is larger and uses a ported design (does it do as well with Music?) and doesn't have as good of a Auto-EQ feature
DD is a smaller unit, sealed usually equals tighter bass which is usually better for music, the Auto-EQ is supposed to be great (since I can't move my sub or get another).
I guess these are just options i have to weigh.
I could get a Used DD12 in perfect condition for about the same price as the SVS, I have also been reading about the 15" sub on AV123 for about $600, WOW that seems like another great option if I wanted to do my own PEQ

You have good sub right now and the peaks and nulls could be better balanced through sub placement and not just PEQ. I would start doing the sub crawl or move the sub around in the room and try the graphing to see if it helps.
If you are stuck for that corner position like I am, then maybe just investing in a sub EQ system like the SMS-1 might be the way to go and open up the options for a different sub.
So far as a used DD-12 it is an option, I haven't heard one, but most of the reviews are very positive for them but for the $1500 range you could easily get the PB13-Ultra as well, it could be a great end table  |
