Scott - prior to the Rava I used only large tower speakers, ACI Spirits (aka Opal). They get down to the 30's mid room, but can't really compare at all and sound much less congested with crossover engaged. I also previously used a NHT 10" sub, not sure the model, but it has an outboard...

I have lived with an Adire Audio Rava ( http://www.adireaudio.com/TextPages/...eFrameText.htm ), first in a large apartment for 3 months, now in a small living room in a new home for 1 month. In the apartment, I had the Rava crossed over @ 50hz, 3rd order high and low pass (using a paradigm x-30...

I've just posted a review on this forum, check it out :)

Martin, those are indeed the best Canadian DIY suppliers. The thing is, I don't think there are many 'premade' kits that can compete with a Servo 15. Most at those sites are aimed at the mid-budget sub market. You may need to get a custom solution using say, two tempests vented, a vented tumult...

I am very interested, have a friend looking at one or the other soon. Correct me if I'm wrong though, the Atoms are nowhere near $500 are they?

if you aren't interested in a DIY or a kit, and insist that the sub be canadian made, then the paradigm is going to be hard to beat. You can beat it @ the price by DIYing, and possibly with the larger HSU which is now available in Canada from Canadian dealers.

depends on whether your goal is lowest possible response or higher output. But it is not as critical as with a vented sub, because the driver is not becoming 'unloaded' below the tuning frequency of the vent. However you will have better power handling & max output if you filter out say...

The second post on the thread is correct. Brand recognition (and the associated 'status' among your peers), and Wife Acceptance Factor.

In terms of clean, low bass the Dayton will eat the Logitech for lunch. One thing to realize though is that after becoming used to somewhat boomy, distorted bass, 'clean' bass does not always sound as good as you'd expect it. Certain types of distortion can be pleasant to the ear, giving the...
