    Paradigm Pw-2200 vs SVS 20-39 pci???

    Edwar,I am, of course being overly cautious, and have found from Tom Vonhandel that there will be sacrifices between the various different models,but whether the subwoofer looses clean output below and above it's tuning point with the respective models is still basically the same point in...

    Paradigm Pw-2200 vs SVS 20-39 pci???

    Edward, i agree with you, but it is still a bit worrying that so much effort must be taken to simply capture the whole frequency spectrum...okay up to a point...lets say to 8hz.Again what i said was not little but VERY impractible, it was the only way that i thought it would be achieved as for...

    Subwoofer punishment?

    Mark, i'm suprised that the phantam menace actually extends down to that subsonic range(10hz), previously i thought 17-20hz was the range that the sequence extended to, but GOD i'm a bit worried now.I'm sure Brain's B4 supersub, can give good output in 8-14hz range as well, assuming that your...

    Paradigm Pw-2200 vs SVS 20-39 pci???

    Edward, what I mean't to say, was that each svs subwoofer would consentrate on their respective frequencies, ie. not letting them play frequencies below their optimum range, so as to allow maximum spl.My room is roughly 15 by 15 feet long with 1 openings into kitchen.What I said was a little...

    Subwoofer punishment?

    Has anyone played the Phantom Menace opening scene at full reference ie121db or Toy story 2 at reference, so far i haven't heard of anyone playing these scenes at this level, having smily faces, just flattened woofers.Although it is a strict requirment as both sequences do contain sub-sonic...

    Worst subwoofers that money can buy?

    But isn't it far more complex to build towers or bookshelf speakers as the cabinet would be more critical to influening the higher frequencies and optimizing the mid-bass frequencies?

    Paradigm Pw-2200 vs SVS 20-39 pci???

    I know that this is off the main topic, but i am just wondering about being safe or immune from bottoming, as I have heard people that have bottomed their SVS, even ultras on the Phantam Menace opening,which kind of scares the HELL out of me.I think there is sub14-16hz content in this sequence...

    Paradigm Pw-2200 vs SVS 20-39 pci???

    I'm glad that the 20-39 will whip the paradigms rear ports, and as a matter of interest, how much does it cost, and how long would it take to contruct a sub that would produce 125db at the listening position in the 16hz and up range?I know of only two commercial sub that(speculation) can achieve...

    Paradigm Pw-2200 vs SVS 20-39 pci???

    Great to hear, and what a about..say a PW-2500(hope i spelt it right),just because i live in South Africa and the exchange rate is, well almost impossible and the sub ahead of the PW-2200 is about R1500(or about $190).Would you be able to compare output wise?

    Worst subwoofers that money can buy?

    Dustin, i am a bit jealous of your knowledge of DIY,as you can practically build subs to outgun any commercial sub, even the B4 supersub(SVS), and i agree with the above mentioned sub, except for one sub that you never mentioned,the frikkin KRELL MASTER REFERENCE, should be called Krell Master...

    Powerful Subwoofer!!

    In my opinion, the Krell Master Reference and the Wilson XS are probably the most powerful consumer subwoofers that are available.Talking about the Krell, 2 15" inch drivers with 2,6 kilowatts of power and the Wilson Xs with 2 18" inch drivers with up to 1600 watts of peak power contained in a 8...

    Advantages of duel or more subwoofers?

    Mark, If this is correct then one additional subwoofer irrespective of being identicle will provide 3 db of maximum sound pressure if put in one corner and upto 6 db if put side by side or on top of the first subwoofer.A third subwoofer should give 3 db in the other corner and a fourth(Heaven...

    Vince, can a reasonably cheap speaker system be capable of reference level? Do not count distorion in as there will NO DOUBT be a heck of distorion, I belief.But can a cheap system at least attain reference level, for better or worse.Doesn't amplifier power come into play here, and speaker...

    Sorry if some read my other post regarding the Servo 15(I had a servo 15 for three years now prior to getting the svs ultra package).I was convinced to buy a duel package for even more power.I am considering using the servo for ultimate low frequencies.Just think, I will have one servo 15 and...
