[Whst do you think about SW-15?]

Thanks guys. That makes total sense!

Btw, I always wanted to make a diy sub

[Whst do you think about SW-15?]

Hi,

 

I'm looking for a sub to compliment my Forte II and Heresy II set of speakers.

I have an opportunity to get SW15 for $300. The issue is that I cannot leasten to it with my speakers...

 

I couldn't find specs for SW15, but found for SW15 II:

Amplifier: 200 watts continuous into 4 ohms

Frequency response: 27-120+-3dB

Max output: 110 dB

Weight: 82 lbs

 

Lets assume, SW15 has the same parameters. Based on pure specs, it looks like R-110SW is better sub and new one is $440 now. So I'm not sure that 30 years old SW15 worth $300...

 

What do you guys think?

Btw, what is the fair price for SW15?

[Surround for Forte II (Heresy II ?)]

I've got Heresy II this weekend and they sound good with my Forte II.

 

Now it is time for sub! Any recommendations?

I found a couple of SW12 and SW15 on the market (not r-xxxSW series, but those from 90's)

 

Not sure if they are great the right choice - a lot of power, but seems pretty high "lows".

Should I consider r-112sw / r-115sw?

[Surround for Forte II (Heresy II ?)]

I see some guys are selling single Academy for $200 on this forum, but they are in different states.

Thanks for replies!

 

Yeah, Forte II and Heresy II have no speakers in common. Here is the difference between tweeters: 

 

I don't have a sub yet, but I'm willing to buy one. Not sure about the model yet...

 

As for the Academy. I want to buy one for center channel for sure but did not think about rears to be Academy. This is a really good idea! However, they are hard to find...

Thanks for the replies!

As for Academy I considered it for center, but not for surrounds. But this is a good point!

However it's hard to find them...

[Surround for Forte II (Heresy II ?)]

Yeah, I found a seller who wants $450 for a pair in a good shape. The finish matches my Fortes as well.

Hi,

 

I'm new to the forum. I managed to get a pair of Forte II recently and looking for a matching pair for surround home theater (movies is the priority).

I have a chance to get a pair of Heresy for a decent price. I know that only tweeters are the same and other stuff is different. What do you guys think about this combo?

 

Thanks for the advice.
