Doesn't really matter, the RSW12 would be a nuch better choice than both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor189 Posted January 13, 2004 Author Share Posted January 13, 2004 The E250PCH was the one I was looking at. I want the best sub for the money of the two. I am going to use them with my computer, so I don't want to spend too much on this sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabulousfrankie Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 The RSW-12 much more expensive than JBL's sub, so they really shouldn't be compared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try an RW8,RW10 or RW12, a lot cheaper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Man that would be sweet,rsw12 on a pc,with 7's for mains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 LOL I used an Aerial SW12 with my Dynaudio Contour 1.1 with my PC And ...and...it was groteque OVERKILL. The PC sound does not deserve this much quality and definition. Now I use a plain ProMedia Ultra 5.1,MegaWorks 510D and other PC speakers and its a ok...helped by a few HT subs Oh yes to answer the question...the RSW12 beats the JBL competition listed.Its definition and impact are second to none in its price range.

KiNNi C P Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 HAHAHAH KSW and RSW...........very BIG DIFFERENCE hhhahaha i think i've mentioned before, but try the Atlantic Technogly T70 trust me, you be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor189 Posted January 14, 2004 Author Share Posted January 14, 2004 yes, there is a HUGE difference. And if I'm not mistaken the KSW would still be alot more expensive than the 12" JBL sub. I'm still a little curious which one would be the best. I really don't want to spend over $400 for a new sub, since its going to be used for my computer.

DrWho Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 what do you have for mains on your pc? depending on what you got, the promedia SWS doesn't seem like that bad of an option for $100... http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=518&cmd_r=More&cmd=More Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RW series are quite a bit better than the KSW series even though they sell for about the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor189 Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 I only have about 400-500 to spend on a new sub, so I might have to get used, I'm not sure yet. I have a set of 5.1 Ultras, but I don't want to get a SWS because they can't hit low enough. I don't want just more volume, I want something that can dig deeper.

The VTF-2 competes very well with sub that cost much more. If you can spend a tiny bit more, the SVS 25-31PCi is a very good subwoofer as well.

Taylor189 Posted January 15, 2004 Author Share Posted January 15, 2004 The VTF-2 looks like the perfect sub for my needs(a little expensive though since I wanted to use that money to upgrade my computer....)!! Thanks SO much for the advice!! I really like the extended warranty thing too. Is there anything decent under $400? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sells for 399$ direct only. Rob Edit: I just noticed the HSU price is shipping included while the Adire is without shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabulousfrankie Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 The Adire Rava is an excellent choice. You can also check out the Hsu STF-2 which is suppossed to have similar performance to the VTF-2 when in it's maximum extension mode. At Comp USA you can check if it's in stock at a store near you(not sold online). http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?sid=3FCD278050B8E17F&product_code=305934&pfp=BROWSE I just want to point out that Hsu had a run of STF-2 subs that had a bad seal around the driver(wrong thickness) and it would leak air. Hsu said only a few drivers had this and it's been taken care of. If you get a bad one you can try to exchange for another at Comp USA, have Hsu replace it under warranty, or just put weather stripping or rope caulk yourself.
