Another potential for your consideration.
Just seen a review by Nemo Propaganda on youtube of the Buchardt Sub10 where it was compared to both the Kef and the SVS 3000 Micro. Different form factor to the KEF but has a good app and a level of built in correction for less than the Kef 62. Might be worth a look. I confirm @big_greg's, expectation that the SVS Apps are very good. If anything the Buchardt looks more sophisticated, are very usefully the microphone set up for the room correction is done by linking it to an iphone which it uses as a mic. The results of this are noted to be as good as connecting it to a dedicated room correction mic. Seems to be $1400 each. Less than the Kef, about $500 more than the SVS, but suggested to be better than the SVS and slightly better than the more expensive Kef.
Subwoofer Advice
I am running a pair of Martin Logan ESL 13A speakers (24-23,000 Hz). I would have thought with two 10" woofers there would be more bas (the base level dial on the rear of the speakers doesn’t seem to cut it either).
In the past I had a pair of ML Spires (29-23,000 Hz) with only one 10" woofer that had so much base, I sold my pair of ForceField 30s. Not the case with the 13A’s.
I don’t have a lot of room, maybe 16" or so square and I was wondering about a pair of SVS Micros. Do you think they would complement the 13As or do I need something bigger?
Martin Logan has come out with a few new subs lately; do you think I should keep in the ML family?
Hoping to come in under $2K, so used is fine. Thanks all!
I should also mention I’m limited on space so placement would likely have to be on the inside or the outside of the main speakers (same back wall).

@audio_rd_uk that is so funny you mention the Sub10. I just watched Steve Huff's (HiFi Huff) review of it just an hour ago...LOL! |
@1971gto455ho my favorite was the 65: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_FSicQWimU |
@navyachts I will have a look at Steve Huff’s, I just knew the other guy had reviewed the Kefs and SVS Micro’s. If Buchardt did something a little bigger, say a 12 or 13 size wise they would be great for my rear set up. But if those 10’s are big enough for your room, placement seems to be very flexible Not that I want to turn you away from a UK manufacturer like Kef - UK HiFi Development is part of my ’income’, though not on any product I’ve ever commented on here. |
