I'm relatively new into the hi-fi audio scene, but after I heard the Summits last week I was instantly drawn in. While I already have decent speakers (and don't have the room for the Summits yet), I'm looking to get a subwoofer to round out my 2 channel system.
I heard the Depth i and was pretty impressed. I still can't get over how such small drivers can go so deep. A local dealer here on the east coast has a demo unit on sale for $300 off MSRP (Apparently it's got one of the exclusive wood trims). Also I prefer to buy new simply because of the warranty and free repair service that comes along with it should something go wrong.
But, for around the same budget I could also get a REL 301, Velodyne DD-12 (Open box), any SVS sub, the Paradigm Seismic 10, or the Sunfire True Subwoofer EQ.
I generally perfer a smaller footprint over a larger footprint, but still want decent extention and output. My next choice in this price range would probably be a DD-12. AVTalk has some revealing metrics from their test reports.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to listen to all of these subs. Can anyone, who has experiance with these subs, give some insight/opinions?
