Which sub is better for audio

For used only, the B&W Matrix ASW-800 is also very nice.

Used several of the above subs. The best one on a dollar per unidistorted dB of output is the HSU1220HO. A real deal in audio and don't let anyone who has not auditioned one at home tell you other wise. Check Issue 15 of the Audio Critic assessment and measurements for the straight goods. The others are not as good as you may think (or their designers for that matter) Been there, done that, wasted a lot of money...

bsg, the hsu is a nice sub, and the only reasonably-priced (under $3k) unit i'd consider - if, that is, vmps weren't around... :>)

Auditioning a Rel is a must. Ther are downward firing and dont move as much air as some but they are seemless and produce an untouchable quality.

I ahve tried many subs over the years & the only one I found that was musical & seamlessly blend in was an REL Stadium II.
