![]() Independent reviews rate the musicality of both subs as excellent. Based on the laws of physics, the SVS and Hsu will dramatically outperform the Rel sub (in terms of extension and output). The Hsu and SVS also have significantly larger enclosures. I can buy the black Rel Quake II for 250 pounds. I think the Rel quake is a good chooise but many thimes the sub will be advertise as a good sub for satelites. Linear driver throw is also important but these specs aren't published for the drivers in question. hello I'm looking for a good cinema sub and a musical one to extend the base from my setup. If you look at the Quake, it has an 8" driver (vs. I have yet to see a review of a Rel sub that includes rigorous measurements (SPL at % distortion, group delay, etc.). ![]() The Hsu and SVS are excellent performers in their price categories (the SVS is slightly better, but is also more expensive). Take a look at impartial independent reviews. I wouldn't lend much credence to any manufacturer's extension or output specs. Note that the SVS has a small footprint but has considerable size (enclosure volume). If you want a small enclosure, you're going to spend a lot more on the amp and driver (i.e. The SVS and HSU subs may be a bit overwhelming (too big) for my setup but i've heard very good things about them in several forums and reviews.Ī good sub usually has some combination of the following: high linear driver excursion, a large enclosure, & a lot of power. I am using a B&W Nautilus HTM-2, N805 and SCM-8 THX dipoles with 120W/5ch Marantz SR-19THX Select receiver. of 9'-6" in front and 15'-10" halfway thru the length of the room, then it levels to 7'-11" to the back which opens to a kitchen on one side and to a hallway/stairs on the other. My room is 12'x24' with a sloping ceiling ht. The SVS and HSU subs may be a bit overwhelming (too big) for my setup but i've heard very good things about them in several forums and reviews. oh unlike the other two the Quake can be had in cherry wood. I am so impressed by the dimension of the Rel Quake (9.96 x 11.57 x 10.7) yet it goes down to 23hz but I'm not sure how it matches up against the other two. My budget is $600 and these subs fit the bill. I am looking to add a sub for my HT setup and I would like a compact subwoofer so it will not be distracting to the decor of my living room. yes the sound just got bigger and smoother, just excellent.I would like to hear from anyone who have had experience with the above-mentioned subs. Which is a no brainer I guess, the speakers are designed to do just that. I found exactly the same thing when I went from the DEQX EQ setup back to full range speakers with subs providing bit of background help. I'd have to do some searching on something other than an iPhone to dig up the thread. I think it was Paul Spencer from Red Spade that suggested running the speakers full range and then using the sub with mini-dsp to fill in the dips, rather than seperate the frequencies completely using a crossover point. hello Im looking for a good cinema sub and a musical one to extend the base from my setup. I do have a mini-dsp in the cupboard that I previously had trouble with when trying to set up using an ancient MacBook, but now have a new HTPC so no more excuses, other than the usual lack of time. I've tried 60 and 80 Hz and it still works but 40 seems the best balance. ![]() Funnily enough, 40Hz seems to work best for me also. I ended up with Dynaudio Focus 160s and already had the SVS SB-2000 sub. ![]()
