Hi, I recently bagged a Samson S-1000 off Ebay for $200, and am presently pulling the trigger on a 16-46 CS + along with a Marchand Bass Box.
I have been doing much research on SVS products and I am sure that I will be satisfied with this one,
But... (im sure you could see that "but" coming a mile away) I am thinking about the Ultra.
I have a small room, about the size of 13 X 15 X 8., and I want to know if I would be able to notice a quality difference between the 16-46 CS+ and the Ultra?
Are the differences only apparent at very high volumes? Does the Ultra have its own distinct sonic signature even at all volumes?
Im sure some of you have had both a 16-46CS+ and an Ultra at one time, but I would rather have a sub i would rather not feel like upgrading for more than several years, which includes possibly moving it into a larger room. I would like personal opinions on which you preffered overall.
*(I plan to run both models in their native tuning points,) so I am torn between either having the lowest extension possible or one of the biggest baddest drivers arround. In my small room output will never be a problem i know that, thats why I would rather get the lowest extension model i.e. 16-46 CS+, but then theres the Ultra, with its superior driver.
In my small room, what is more noticeable, extension, or the debateable driver quality?, It really is a tough choice. (this choice is only between the Ultra and 16-46 CS+.) And I honestly will say for the most part I will be running it a moderate to high volumes interchangeably.
Also , my speaker setup includes 6 Energy C-3 speakers which sound awesome, (I flipped one upside down on top of my 36 inch TV. I sure cant wait to make it 6.1 ;-)
Any help will be appreciated., Thanks, -Chris-
