I will get SVS Ultras, but in the meantime tell me what you think about this. (1 Viewer)

I happen to have two audiosource sw-fifteens. Yes at some time I would love to upgrade to svs but at 350.00 for both and about 5.00 bucks in fiberfill I think they sound pretty darn good, and isnt that whats most important, what the individual person thinks sounds good?

Manuel,
Why not just buy one Ultra for now and save up for the other one?

Manuel,

While the SW-15 can put out quite a lot of bass, it is not as tight and quick as the SVS. There is not a lot of seperation of bass notes as a result. The difference is night and day. For the interim, the SW-15's will suffice, especially at the price you can get for 2. I hope that you don't have to pay for shipping on them, unless that is included in the price too.

In this price category (aside from diehard basshead subs like

SVS) I don't think you will find many competitors with this

sub.



Please don't take my lowly word for it..

AR didn't stop making some of the best speakers in the world

when Teledyne packed it up...)

That looks nice!! I found it for less than 500 bucks! Hmm.. now Im seriously thinking again...

I will be this, or my first sonosub... I know, the experts will tell me that making my own is always better. But I have to consider also the easiness of just "pay, receive, plug and enjoy"

Manuel,
If you found one for $500.00 I would suggest snatching it
up. Rumor has it that AR is about ready to ax the Hi-Res
series and introduce a new lineup. This particular sub (the
ARS500) has already sold on ebay in the past months for
$1500.00 + (watched it with my own eyes!)
I would buy one sell it and then buy TWO!
