Hi all,

I am really interested in one of these subs but here is the thing, i'm not sure if i might be going over the top with this sub because my 5 speakers are small (ish) and i'm just wondering if having a sub this big would over power them and possibly leave a gap in the sound because of the sheer difference in sound and response between the sub and the other speakers.

Any advice much appreciated?

cheers!!

From experience a good sub will only enhance the speakers that you have and make the system sound better as a whole, to have the extra headroom is a good thing and when it is time to upgrade the speakers the sub can stay and compliment your new purchase...

Hi Sam, I presume he is meaning that some prefer a sealed sub for music as they tend to be more favourable for music lovers, the Monolith is ported sub meaning it has a port and tuned to a certain frequency, ported subs tend to go lower than sealed subs as they do not compress as much when pushed harder...

Thanks John,

I appreciate the explanation. Do you have any experience with the Monolith ? What is your opinion of it for mainly home cinema use and occasional music use ?

I've read goof things about BK products.

Cheers.

Yes, I have heard the BK Monolith but tbh was not overly impressed by it, there is a lot of people in the UK who have them and are very happy with it for movies and music from the feedback that they have given...I suppose for the money that it costs it is good VFM.

Sam, I would be very suprised if an MJ sub has any serious output at 10hz, and have not seen any true data to back that up, I have mentioned this in the past but BK have made subs/parts for MJ Acoustics, there subs are overpriced IMO and if I had to choose would probably take a BK direct made sub over the MJ equivalents...

Sorry Sam we are going away from topic of the OP so please lets not defer any further, you are welcome to open a new thread in the relevant forum

Quick question, dont BK actually supply MJA with subs and/or parts? IIRC they do but I could be getting mixed up. If they do though, then a BK would really be the same more or less for less money.

correct Dan, BK supplied for MJ Acoustics which makes buying BK direct better VFM without the mark up of retailers...

The BK is an excellent sub for the money but if you are into DIY building of subs then it may outperform the 400, tough call really as there are no comparisons out which I can remember seeing :scratch:
