Golden ear sub x


I'm looking for an audiophile sub to go with Thiel 3.7?Looking to spend less than 1500.Local dealer told me about Golden ear sub x and raved about it?Isnt this mainly a ht sub?Also thinking about a Sumiko s9,I can get a deal on,maybe later add another?I do what a lot of movies but what 2 channel to sound good also!Dont need it super loud anymore,would be happy with quality over quantity.

Yes,I use a processor in both systems.Onkyo 886 with B&WS and Integra 80.3 with Thiel speakers.Both pre amps are very similar.Needed a processor in basement to control passive sub.I know processors for 2 channel aren't the best choice,but pretty happy with basement system overall.

Found out Vandersteen subs only have a year warranty,that's pretty lame for a 1600 sub!Rel 3 years,Svs 5 years.

Considering that my 2nd hand 2w's are almost 20 years old and are still working properly- I wouldn't worry about needing the warranty.

I also own the HSU VTF-2 subs. They are a nice product, but not in the league of the Vandersteen's.
