How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers


For people who own subwoofers in the main system, I am interested to know the price ratio of the subwoofer to speakers in your system. Prices in MSRP.

Say if the subwoofer(s) cost $10,000 and speakers cost $10,000, the ratio would be 1 : 1.

If the subs cost $5,000 and speakers cost $10,000, the ratio would be 1 : 2.

If the subs cost $3,333 and speakers cost $10,000, the ratio would be 1 : 3.

Mine is at about 1 : 3.5

I have 3 older REL subs, 2 Q150Es and one Q108 MK 2, 2 were 200 bucks each and one was maybe 250...my mains are Heresy III "Capitol Records 75th Anniversary" (woopty friggin' do) editions and they cost 14 thousand bucks a pair. I may have paid too much for those, but they're real good.

You are correct. I probably wouldn’t want them next to my Rockports. Would like to at least hear them though.

I paid very low prices for the sub setup.  If I bought it all new now it would cost double what my speakers cost.  As we used to say at work, run to failure.

Running 1 sub in a stereo set up is pointless.   

At list pricing:   about 1:19         At used/paid prices:  1:8.5

The Raidho D2s, when 'tamed for the room and its own bass' still reaches down to 31Hz near flat. Sealed SVS subs (3) are low passed at 40, 50, and 60 to merely add ambiance/ultra-low reinforcement with D2s run full range.

(I know I need a good crossover to high pass the D2s...eventually.)
