    A thread for testing $2000-$2500ish subwoofers

    Thanks for the links. I am looking over the setup guide at AVS. You would think so, but I have checked their site and couldn't find one. If need be, I'll call him but the set up guide that Dave Upton provided a link to should be a good starting point. I've figured out how to page through the...

    I don't believe so. Where can I find it? One of my major problems is that I don't have much leeway on location right now. I'm pretty well stuck with back of the room about 6" from the back wall and about 8' from the outside wall. This is due to the front area being taken up by my TV credenza...

    I didn't really expect them to be right. Just tried it to see what it could do and it can do quite a bit. Yes. It is a Funk 18.0E which replaces their 18.0SE. The characteristics are similar with the enclosure being slightly wider and taller with larger a corner radius. Should have called...

    Sub finally made it up to me a couple of days ago. Took a few pics and made an album. How do you link the album to here? Clicking on the image button seems to be looking for a link to one pic. 20200103_204036 by Edwin-S posted Jan 5, 2020 at 12:32 AM Edit: Looks like I have it now. Clicking...

    I'll see what I can do when it comes in. Just post them here?

    Not sure whether it will be mounted to a pallet or not. Weight of the unit, according to Nathan, is about 90 to 95 lbs. I had never heard of Funk Audio until Dave Upton provided a link to their site in "The Expanse" thread. I had posted in there about how that show seemed to be taxing my poor...

    I'll pop back in here and post my impressions of it when it arrives. I was contemplating trying two KEF92 force cancelling subs that are soon to be released. The KEF92 is basically a replacement for the KEF 400 subwoofer. However, theJman's observation about needing a large driver and/or...

    That is nuts. I like my bass, but I don't want to feel like I'm in an underground bunker during a B52 bombing. ;) Nathan made a follow up call to me to say that intro pricing was coming to an end on Friday for their new offering. Asked if I was still interested in buying. I like that he made...

    Right now, I'm using an old Mirage BPSS 210 sub. Two 10" drivers in a bi-polar arrangement. I thought it was starting to go South. I was watching "The Expanse" and there was a lot of "popping" occurring during sequences with low frequencies. I had to turn down the volume to eliminate the issue...

    So far, the two things that are stopping me from purchasing a sub from Funk Audio is the price and whether an 18" sub is overkill in a living room that measures 16' long by 12' wide. One side is open to a dining room that is about 12' by 11' but, still, I have to wonder if an 18" sub is...

    Anybody have any experience with KEF's force cancelling subs such as the R400B? KEF is going to be releasing KF92 which basically uses the same arrangement as the 400: Two 9" drivers in a back to back force cancelling arrangement. The total power is 1000W RMS (2 x 500W Class D amps). Their...
