As I'm trying to build a high quality HT, I unfortuntately have to do it a piece at a time.
Finally bit the bullet on a single CS Ultra, but don't have the money for a decent amplifier yet.
Since I couldn't wait to hear in some way, I was reduced to hooking it up to a single channel of a 8 year old Techniques Pro-Logic receiver.
I hooked the subwoofer output from my main Denon Receiver to the L-Channel CD input of the Techniques receiver, and set its volume at 75%.
My presumption was it would sound completely unimpressive.
The benchmark for comparison were the Dual KLH Powered 10" Subwoofers I had in place before (only $99 each at cosco Supposedly each KLH is self powered at 150w.
Finished the setup and slapped in the Matrix fighting scene where Morpheus breaks the floor.
It sounded awesome! My god what an improvement. Subjectively it seemed about as loud as the two KLH woofs, but with an entirely new huge bottom end that didn't exist before. It went from a loud that you didn't want any louder to a smooth, clean, subtle ground shaking that you feel all over your body.
So does this mean Techniques receivers will make all subs sound like this?
Btw, I have quite a big room, with family, kitchen, and living all in one flowing space.
People really want *two* of these subs with 500 watts per channel? Would like to hear that.
Go get an Ultra.
