Hi, what do people think is the best Subwoofer for Music and Movies. I'v heard alot about Velodyne subs, the Muse 18, Aerial, Rel and RBH subs. What do people recommend, as the best sub for music and movies.
For the price I like the Hsu Research VTF-2 ($499). It isn't the ultimate in low-end impact but it is very musical and works well for movies. They also sell subs that will extend below 18 hz; but they sell for about twice the price.
I've had excellent results with the Vandersteen 2W series. A little tricky to wire up but ultimately the wiring scheme actually is a positive; no real bass management problems to solve other than placement and dynamic balance with the main speaker pair if using a single sub. (note: this wiring method is not possible with many integrated amps/AV receivers-check before you buy.) Overall a great product, especially considering the (typical for Vandersteen) very reasonable price.
i like vmps - get a pair, use a good used solid state amp, & a good electronic x-over - yule get better sound than a powered sub, for less $$$ - and, ya need two for decent audio - yust my opinion. doug
