Hello,
I have a 2xTempest (original) IB sub and recently swapped out some floorstanders (40hz -3dB) for NHT M5 monitors (75hz -3db). As I anticipated, resetting the crossover point has made the sub too localized and left a response valley in the 60-90hz range. I was wondering what opinions might be on what type of sub to go with for the 50-100hz fill I seek. I can do DIY, but I'm not sure about a driver that would be well-suited to this purpose (lighter, faster, higher FAR).
There is also the Hsu mid bass module, although WAF is a consideration and the Hsu stink in that department. Cambridge Soundworks (I know- typically lame:rolleyesno
has their 6x6.5" sub on closeout for $450. It has a -3dB of 32hz or so and boxer layout reduces localization problems, and its slim, so I might be able to place it nearfield, a la Hsu, for big impact. Anyway, with the in-home trial, it might be worth a shot as long as I don't ask it to do anything below 50hz.
Opinions? Thanks,
JD
