    Just saw Deadpool Wolverine movie last night at AMC 30 in the Block of Orange, California. Dolby Cinema screen and sound. The seats shake, first i thought it was the Bass from Subwoofers which was Amazing- First time in my life hearing such powerful bass. Then just now I saw video clips and they set the seats to shake with the bass scenes. Apparently I heard Ceiling speakers and used. Told my friend during the movie probably behind the screen or bottom of it they using Six 18" subs or Ten 15's but i think its just Ceiling subs.

    I really like my OSD Trevoce 12's paying $285 (would be picky if paying $900) But i really Considered exchanging it or returning it for the OSD FS12. I decided to keep my Trevoce 12's. I never heard the SVS SB2000 but i saw the woofer and magnet is much better than the SB1000 and probably most subs. Stereo Integrity 18" or 24" is on my Dream List but need Solid theater room tearing out the drywalls putting insulation, solid wood door, etc. You guys lucky living in the Midwest or East Coast if you have a Basement.

    $1,000 for 2 Subwoofers not bad deal. $700 for OSD Trevoce 15's and $300 for OSD FS12 although price up now to $360. The FS12 saying CEDIA Level 4 Home Theater Reference Level which is 18 HZ and 118 Decibels. Many people saying that's very hard to Believe. OSD says the 600 Watts RMS on the FS12 does it.

    Sale ends Sunday night for the Starke SW15 at $549 and there's a 5% Promo Code too. I'm really happy with my $299 OSD Trevoce triple 12s I got the LFE at 80 HZ on my Onkyo and finally getting Deep hard hitting bass. It's a slower sub like warming up a truck Diesel Engine but once the Beast wakes up it Roars. Had to put Onkyo volume from 29 down to 7-9 which is barely on, 0 being no volume at all. I'm going to switch back to the Dual RCA filtered for Sub Crossover and put it at 40-50 HZ on the turn knob. But i really need to use DSP adjustment for 20 HZ.

    Actually the OSD Trevoce 12's only starting sounding good in movies, low frequency deep bass, when i removed the LFE cable, put Onkyo crossover to 50 HZ, LFE to Off, used the Dual RCA (red and white cable). I think it's the Onkyo crossover plus the 50 HZ max keeping the frequency curves in check. Just a temporary method until i use DSP on iWoofer.

    I will go to MWAVE next year if that's the biggest home theater show now. I think Chicago had one too. I heard CES in Las Vegas not much home theater maybe just big TV's. Probably buying the Hisene 4K TV as it's super cheap and HDR 10+. My 49" Atyme 4K is not HDR paid $200 about 5 years ago i think at Fry's Electronics. Now a 50" Hisene 4K QLED is $250. Prefer the 55".

    Sale now $499 for the 15" SW15 Sealed box. Really tempted to buy it but trying to avoid spending any more money on the Home Theater for now & I like the OSD Trevoce 12's after many times Tuning it and moving it around all the angles, hitting the walls, etc. Within 2-3 years my Dream Subwoofer is the Stereo Integrity HST-18 and hopefully they make & sell a box by then. If I get Acres of Land or build underground room I will get the 24".

    Hey, i just grabbed a sw15. In Canada, we dont have hsu, speedwoofers are on backorder indefinitely, and SVS is considerably more expensive. sb1k is 1000$, 2k is 1500$ and 3k is 2000$. The starke is 690$ cad. I would think two starke sw15s should outperform one SB2000, and still leave some money in my pocket. Cant wait for it to arrive :) do you think 1 sub will be good enough for a medium sized room?

    Another good review. 👍 Looks like Starke makes some competitive products, although they may need to adjust their DSP a bit to provide a bit better protection to their driver. They probably weren't very aggressive with the limiters to get the most out of it. Have to give kudos to my sealed SVS SB16-Ultra. It's a very capable sealed sub, but a bit more expensive than this product. 😁
