Hey guys, i'm new to this board and home audio in general. I know a lil bit from car audio, but not much bout home. Recently when i was on holidays i felt a need to spend money, and so Mr Visa purchased a set of Athena (canadian company YAY) AS-F2 floor speakers as well as a panasonic SA-XR50 (i think thats the model) (100x6). They do pretty well together, i've only had them for a couple weeks, so they're still breaking in, but even with a pair of 8's in each speaker there's a huge difference between having a sub to pick up those low frequencies and not having one. So, now not that i have money to spend, but i need a sub. I'm poor and shouldn't have bought this home audio stuff in the first place as i used money that was supposed to pay previously boughten stuff off.
I figure i have about $500-$700 canadian to spend on a sub. I was first settled on velodyne's CHT-12 which i've been able to hear at various stores and is in the price raneg i like (bout $500 after shipping). But i also know that Adire audio makes great subs as i recently purchased their brahma for my bro's vehicle and it's sweet, but there's only two stores in canada that sell their equip and neither do home audio.
In conclusion i've read many good things about this Rava from Adire, but don't know a ton about home audio in general and have never gotten the chance to listen to it unfortunatly, so i'm checking to see if you all can offer some more help options or opinions. Is it a good sub, is there another sub that i should be going with hands down for that price range (can not go above that price range and really the cheaper the better). The room this is all in incidentally is my bedroom but i'd like to still get something decent. It'll be mainly used for music right now, only cause i don't hae room for rear speakers, but eventually will be for movies as well.
If you can give me any ideas opinions or even point me in the right direction, that'd be much appreciated.
