Time for an Upgrade

Recommended Posts

Looking to upgrade my sub. Currently running an older 10” Infinity with LaScala’s.

Room is large about 20x30. Im not a huge bass head but like the bass to hit fairly hard.. i listen to a lot of reggae. Not interested in HT only music for now. 
 Budget is about $1000. Considering brands like HSU, SVS, Rhythmik, and PowerSoumd

SVS builds good subs and their 5 year warranty seals the deal imo. Plus if you order direct from SVS you have a 45 day zero cost to you returns. I've owned a couple Rythmik/Brian Ding creations but again 2 or 3 year warranty on electronics.

I second SVS subs. My experience having pre-and post-purchase questions answered quickly and in detail, as well as the product itself (in my case an SB-1000) convinced me I made the right decision.

 

I'd also consider the HSU as mentioned above. Some of their subs provide a means of plugging the ports so you get to experiment with both ported and sealed sub designs.

 

What's interesting is the OP has used a 10" sub to pair with LaScala's. I wouldn't think a smaller sub would be able to provide a reasonable low end to complement the high output capabilities of LaScala's.

That exhausts the OP's budget and doesn't even include the transducers, or an amp to power them. Nor the shipping costs.

 

And to add SVS support is awesome, just a phone call or live chat away during normal business hours. I returned an SB-2000, no problem whatsoever and SVS covered return shipping cost.

Ive had this for about a month.  Prior to this I had an R-112 SW which blew the amp after about 3 years.

 

Happy with the sound coming from it with music or HT.   Really like using their app on smartphone to adjust the subwoofer from the couch.  After the R-112 SW amp issue, I really like the guarantee.  Under $1000.  
 

The room it’s in is about 16x25

Not a horn, its a dual reflex bandpass design.

 

If you want a real upgrade instead of a marginal one you could go DIY horn, find a used one or go to the BFM builders page. The Table Tuba should be an option under a grand.

Thanks for the clarification.  I just went by the description.

Good suggestion.

Take a look at the PSA S1512DF($1100), or V1512DF($1150), or S1512 ($1200) if you want a finish other than Satin Black.                                    5 yr warranty, free shipping, 60 day trial period. (minus return shipping cost.) You also have a 60 day price protection in case there's a price drop. 

I believe you'll get more DB output above 25hz for your music listening, vs equally priced SVS Subs.
