I just bought a Boston Acoustics PV500 sub a few weeks ago. I've been very satisfied with it, but now I'm thinking about returning it for an upgrade to the PV700 (or maybe even another brand). It's not that I want a more powerful sub; I just think it would be nice to have a little more bass extension (29 Hz vs. 38 Hz).
All my other speakers are Boston, so that's why I chose a Boston sub, so regardless of whether you think BA makes a good sub (SVS and HSU appear to be well-regarded choices), is it worth the $150 upgrade for an extra 9 Hz of extension?
I'm guessing that there's not a lot of material under 40 Hz in most movies, but after comparing with other subs, it seems that 38 Hz seems a little inadequate for a lower limit.
Also, does anyone have any experience with returning equipment to Tweeter? Can I simply return something because I want to upgrade, if I have the receipt and original packaging?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
