I would get the HSU VTF-3. |
I've had good results with Auralex SubDudes under the subs for isolation.
My experience with high-pass filters may be Ayre-specific, but I tried a Bryston 10B active filter and a Marchand fixed passive filter (4th order 80 Hz), both claimed to be balanced. The Bryston really changed the sound, the Marchand removed a bit of the sense of air. Both are gone. I let the KEF Ref 1s run full range and supplement them below 40 Hz with pairs of Velodyne HGS-15s and HGS-10s and SMS-1 bass managers that provide acoustic room correction. |
3. Best Performance system- Audio Kinesis 4-sub Swarm for $3,000. This option will clearly outperform the other options since it will provide deep, fast, smooth, accurate, highly detailed and dynamic bass that will be perceived as the most effortless, the most natural and the best integrated with your main speakers. It will also be the most convenient option to configure since all settings are made once on the amp/control unit for the 4 subs collectively rather than separately on each individual sub.
Good luck,
Tim I've respected your detailed and informative suggestions helping people new to subwoofers by sharing your basic knowledge and your enthusiasm with this system. I'm saddened to read your declarations of, "Best, most, and outperform the other options." |

Sorry m-db, don't get your post. "saddened"? Nothing wrong with having an opinion. I welcome all information, and all opinions, as long as your not a d-bag. |
