I'm still rocking the PW-2200!

Those subs look really nice 🙂 I'm loving the x15 and it's specs. I currently run two pc2000's and they are very nice subs. I was thinking about upgrading at some point to two pc4000's or maybe getting two more pc2000's so they'd be the same output across all 4. What do you guys or anyone else reading this think?

I'm currently using a paradigm servo 15, from 2004 era..and of course all paradigm reference speakers.been using paradigm since late 80's when i purchased my first set of studio monitors,,

@ audioholics, I’m actually running a 7.1.4 home theatre system. All Paradigm. My sub I’m running right now is the Paradigm studio sub 12. But I would like to upgrade, to duals . My choices are down to the Paradigm x15, Power sound audio V1510, or Svs Pb4000 or sb16’s. Maybe I could have some insight on which one to choose ? My room is 18ft Lx 13ft Wx 8ft H. Thank you and keep up the great videos !

Just bought the Defiance X10 ....amazing smooth deep sound. Great sub.

How is it for listening to music?

perphas u may try procella audio v21 with dual 21 inch subwoofers in a box

do you have reviews of surround speakers? I checked out your website, but under the surround sound products there was only surround sound kits in a box. I was thinking of getting some bic pl66 for surrounds

I´m looking to build a 2.1 system, using Dali Spektor 1 as main speakers . Could you please recommend some active subwoofers able to drive the Dalis, I´m trying to be minimalist here, for space reasons, and still get some decent sound without the need of any external amps. Thanks in advance

Since my receiver has one RCA sub out , how do I hook up this sub to my receiver ?..

I like that shirt!! Also anybody have thoughts on the new yamo s803?? As far as sound stage bass vs the elac until? How does it sound musically and as a surround setup?

I use down firing sub. I seem to like that on hard surface flooring.

Are these replacing the monitor series ? (Sub-woofer)

What size is the box of the x15 juts orderd one of these beasts and wanted to know if il jave 2 take a truck to pick it up so I can measure my trunk in my suv to see if it'll fit

Looks like these compete head-to-head with SVS's line. I wonder if they're as easy to order online. 😉

I have Currently (2) Ultracube10's for my theater--16''w x 14'l x10'h-- radiator on 1 cracked.. want to upgrade (1) to 12" while keeping 1 Ultracube in room.. recommendations ???

I've buy a pair of AKG K52 on Amazon, for 29 Euro, what do you think about it ? I already have this same headphone, with different design, but is the same ! (bcz they've broken)

Have a soft spot for my Axiom ep500 v2 with the aluminium driver that my kids have dented, it still goes hard

Hi, Audioholics. Just a question that, perhaps, can be a little off-topic: Why almost every time we talk about subs, it seems we're implicitly talking about Home Theater applications, and never (or so) about plain stereo music systems? I understand there's a whole lot of good to extremely good Hi-Fi speakers which cannot reach the low end of freq range, being present in the recordings themselves, but impossible to listen to if the speakers simply don't deliver those frequencies at any audible level. These nice subwoofers (and others) can be an improvement to music enjoyment at home. Or so I guess. Is there any technical impediment in using subs just for normal two-channel musical audition? Thanks so much.

If a sub has good linearity, low distortion and low group delay, it should be equally good for music as well as home theater applications. Our written reviews typically include listening tests for both applications.

What's better Paradigm or SVS subwoofers?

Great Subs

I always wonder how important the hz rating is. Svs is like the only manufacturer that has subs reaching below 20hz under $1000, and they always say that’s the most important part of a sub. So why are there so little brands that offer sub 20hz sub under $1000?

@Audioholics

5 жыл бұрын

All speakers produce sound below 20Hz, even a tweeter! However, what matters is at what SPL and distortion levels. In order to get meaningful output below 20Hz requires a driver with a substantial motor structure, large box and powerful amp. SVS is one of the best brands out there for the price that typically gives you all 3.

I have a really old Paradigm PW2200 12” sub. Probably time to upgrade, but I chose to upgrade my mains to Prestige 85Fs first. I use ARC on my MRX receiver and it sounds great. My room is far from ideal, which makes ARC even more impressive.

If 12” can hit 15” output, I might need to replace my dual PSA 15Vs to save some space!

That sales manager just won’t shut up. What a ball of fire.....

"4 subs is the ultimate"... That's cute. 🤣

Seems a little under powered with only 120 RMS. I'm looking to buy dual subs for my home theater and leaning towards dual PB 1000s instead. Looking forward to the full review

I purchased two V12’s and tweaked them via ARC, and I’ll tell you, 120w seems very low, but the quality and dynamics are MORE than enough for my Paradigm Prestige 800f towers and 600C center channel with surround and atmos running. So much so that on more than a handful of occasions the two v12’s have literally scared friends and family causing ears to cover and shrieks of joy to flow from my body lol. I’ve listened to the SVS1000 and the one V12 is for sure in the same ballpark.

Where is Hugo Rivera God damn it !!!

These videos could be so much better. Missing proper b-roll and you could use lav mics like the Rode Wireless Go. They are cheap and easy to use. Like the info but the video and sound plus editing could be better. Thanks anyhow

They are never really wireless though as they will need to be located with a power socket.

Totally believable. Double the xmax and you double the displacement, which we all know correlates to a 3 db gain. It's simple physics really...

Adding another woofer equals 6db.

I made it 5 second in. Sorry I cannot tolerate the room reverb.

Gloss comments sound like they're targeted at SVS :p. I don't like the gloss either.

3 years seems very low.

Thought it was 6db increase for additional driver not 3db. So the claim it's an additional driver is false
