I think the new Revel Sub 30s are awesome. However I think more depends on the subs setup and integration than you suspect. From what I've learned an experienced acoustic tech with serious testing equipment is a necessity if one is going to get the must thump from the buck!
Need advice on subwoofer
I've been upgrading my circa 20yr old system since visiting a B&W shop in Beijing (of all places). Discovered that I was not deaf after all. Being British (tho living in US), B&W had some appeal. Also wife factor important in mycase & B&W's look cool. Now have B&W 804s front, B&W 805s rear and 1 804 as center. (Fedex lost one 804 in shipment hence the 'spare' 804). Denon 3805 AVR. Music tastes vary, Blues, Rock & sometimes classical. Also hook up Denon for DVD's, TV etc, but main love is music. Room about 14' x 18' high ceiling. Extending to kitchen/bfast of 14'x15'. Now looking for subwoofer to complete system. Although I like the 'brightness' of the B&W's, maybe a sub may add some balance at the bottom end. Been looking at Axoim EP500, Paradigm Seismic 10 or 12, and Velodyne DD's. Suggestions welcomed! Also, strange request, anyone tried putting an 804 on its side to use as a center?
