Hi guys! I am new to this forum and am delighted for the oppportunity to learn and participate.
I would like to start by asking about my subwoofers. I bought a pair of NHT 2.9s a few years ago for stereo duty. I was quite happy with these and determined that I would build my HT around them. So, eventually, as money permitted I made the transition from stereo to HT, starting with an HDTV and soon to end with a pair of speakers added for the 6 and 7 of 7.1 channels.
What I have:
The LFE output of the denon is also routed to the subwoofer controller, and gets mixed into the signal going to the subwoofers. The level of LFE in the mix is controlled by a knob on the front of the controlled.
I bought the NHT subs just because I had all other NHTs, there was great deal going ($1650 for two, including two controllers, even though I need only one), and I could not imagine not getting good performance out of 4 NHT 1259 drivers, modified ( I believe) for subwoofer use.
But here is the thing. The SubTwo i was in production was only a very short time, and there are NO official reviews anywhere. It never featured in any magazine tests or comparisons, nor have there been any listening reviews anywhere except on consumer review websites.
Now, I have what I have, and I am quite satisfied with the performance. But I am still very curious about how my subwoofer set up compares with what else is in the market. There are some notable subs out there, the Paradigm PW2200 and Servo-15, the Velodyne HGS18, the Hsu VTF-3, etc. and I hear great things about these and others, and I am VERY curious about how my system compares with these, but I can't find anything.
So I thought I'd ask you guys. Anyone have a clue?
