What sub under a grand?

I have considered upping my budget to 1500 for a sub but will the extra 700 dollars over the price of the psa make that much more of an impact? and at 1500 I could go with the svs sb13 ultra which looks like a real nice sub, but will it out perform the psa which is 700 dollars cheaper? they both have in home trials, I guess I could order the svs and compare it to the psa. I agree the rythmik subs are awesome!

I like Rhythmic value proposition on paper based on what I read. WOuld tend to lean that way but disclaimer is I have not had the pleasure of hearing those yet.

I do business with a company who also does the distribution of
SVS. Personally I think they are not the best looking. But that
is not the biggest limitation. I have said it many times;
subwoofers is all about timing and speed. They do not use the
best material in response. I have listend a few times to them. I
could not sell them to my clients. Because they are not good
enough, it is that simple! These timing limitations still many
subwoofers face. People look at how big a speaker unit is and
how many WATTTTTTTs the amp is. I would advice; please use your
ears and focus on the level of integration with your speakers.

I'm happy with the psa, I did a side by side comparison with my rel t1, and the rel failed! the psa was deeper and fuller sounding. The rel would rattle with ht duty and the psa didn't break a sweat, and the same goes with music. speed timing? the psa integrated well with my main speakers. it's made well and made in the usa. just because it's not 2k and a big name yet doesn't mean its junk. as far as watts i don't buy into that shit either just like I don't buy into 10k speaker cables. the audio world is full of snake oil just like everything else. doe's a battery pack on your speaker cable improve sound? it must people fork out 2 t0 14k for this great tech. I think speed and timing is a matter of speaker placement and having it dialed in right.

I'm liking the PSA so much I think i'm gonna return it for it's big brother the xs30se which offers two 15" drivers if the xs15se can produce this much bass with one driver I can only imagine what two drivers can do. "just hope its fast enough".
