Which sub is better for audio

when wouldn't you use a sub for audio? back vibrator maybe?

hi neato, i'm not into h-t, but lotsa guys are. accurate bass isn't as critical in h-t applications...

Assuming you mean a sub primarily for MUSIC (vs. home theatre), then I also highly recommend the Rel Strata III (which is a bass extender--you mains still get full range signal, and you set the sub to come in just under the mains' low range) or the Vandersteen 2Wq (traditional 80hz cut-off).

I have the REL Storm III which is $1800 for black and $2000 for wood veneers. They sell for $1500 demo/used mint on occassion here. The Storm III and Stratus III will perform basically the same; the Storm will go lower. The Vandersteen 2W is also musical. I have not heard it myself, but for under $1K the Monitor Audio ASW-210 has gotten some good reviews for being musical.

I am using a Bag End with Von Schweikert VR4 Gen II's. Seamless Extension.Magic Audio in Atlanta is the place to get one under 1k dropped shipped direct from Bag End.
