Svs sb17-ultra for music


How is the new svs sb17 ultra for music? 

Is a rel carbon special better.

I want a big woofer to match my jbl 4367

@phusis , I need to build one of the horns, maybe something along these lines and try to get lower extension

On a different note, the tekton definitely gets under 20 (not some exaggerated spec). As I mentioned, it’s a solution "on the cheap" with some phenomenal bass for his speaker design.

Horn-loaded subs are altogether different beasts and bigger still. From my chair there are no better "audiophile" subs than horn-loaded variants when it comes to smooth, layered, effortless and enveloping bass reproduction. They’re both less conspicuous in the mix and more shaking-the-air crazy powerful when called for, whereas direct radiation subs make themselves more known overall. The latter can be a quality to some ears with its more "thumping" and animating character, whereas horn subs have a more fluid omnipresence of bass.

I do have 2 rel s812 today. Buy my jbl take up to mutch space so I only use one. Thats why i want one bigger.

Personally I’d go with the Rhythmik E15 for about $1500 or the F18 for about $2k.
