A while back, I started a thread inquiring about the JBL LSR4312SP subwoofer. Although you guys twisted my arm to go with something with a lower frequency spectrum, I remained stand-offish. Besides not believing I needed the extra low frequency extension, I had other reasons, which I kept to myself - mostly, it came down to a bit of laziness, I suppose.
The fact that a [JBL] subwoofer had all the connections I'd need, right out of the box for a pro system, and better still, an automatic system which adjusts the subwoofer settings to the room, using a built-in, self-tuning software, was too much for me to resist. With these two offers alone, I was imagining myself (ok, dreaming of) plopping the unit down, flipping on the switch, and just using it! :heehee:
Up until now, I have not had enough free $ to make the purchase - a good thing, I'm sure. After thinking things over, and looking at the specs of some of the competing subwoofers available, I have had to drop my presuppositions about what I thought I wanted. I have become more skeptical of the JBL system, since after all this time, I still cannot find but one honest review about it (by an unhappy customer), and even that review seems unhelpful.
I have been musing over the threads & test results you guys have posted, and have found myself keenly interested in the Rythmik subwoofers. (So I am ironically looking at one of the most low-ended designs available.) I was actually quite impressed by the SVS PB13, tuned at 10 Hz, but the size will greatly limit my placement possibilities. I believe I may be set on the sealed Rythmik model. Honestly, I mix with the signal around 70 dB or so, since I expose myself for hours at a time - so I am not interested in high output for this project.
I want to first of all, thank you guys (especially Ilkka and your friends in Finland) for all the work posting a library of very useful and helpful information. I do wish I could find a third party who has tested a completed, sealed Rythmik sub, so I can set my mind at ease, knowing it is truly the best choice for me at this point in time. Does anyone know of any such tests?
Thanks.
