 So are you saying that the 25-31 plus in its regular tune will sound bad? Loose? My only experience is with small sealed subwoofers. How is this sub rated in terms of sound quality and output? I'd imagine that the sound is horrible out of a tube design. |
Nope, it sounds great, I am just not super happy with the size, looks and I want the bass equalized for the room. I got the set up for around $500, at the time it was killing subs costing 2,3,4X that. Since then, others have had to get more serious about the subs they produce. I think SVS gave a LOT of people a kick in the regarding subwoofers. Prior to that M&K was one of the specialty sub companies (they are now out of business) and they are a great sub at the time for bass from about 30 Hz up, but SVS took things to a new level and forced everyone else to follow suit. With all the calibration discs out now, HT going crazy and the easy access to a SPL meter, I think people could finally find for themselves if they have REAL BASS or just mid-bass thump. I think that is why some people have caught up (usually at a much higher price) the appealing thing about a lot of the subs I am considering is the Auto-EQ and smaller size and looks.
btw, do research on the "tube" it is one of the reasons it sounds so good and doesn't have to weigh 8 million pounds.
