cjgeraci Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 In that price range, either the 25-31PC+ or the HSU VTF-3MkII. If $1000 is possible, the SVS PB2-ISD. ---------------- Carl.

rsarma Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I'm new to this.... Does it make sense to buy a Sub that costs more than both of your flr. standing speakers combined .... I was thinking that a sub should cost the same as one flr. standing? Is there a generally accepted practice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I think that budget is about right, if you can earmark about $500-1,000 each year to upgrading your home movie and music reproduction system you will accumulate an awesome system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a generally accepted practice ? ---------------- Actually, that isn't a completely acurrate statement. The sub in a lot of home theater setups can be the most pivital component of your loudspeaker system. Those who are avid music-only lovers will spend thousands on their 2-channel mains, movie lovers may spend thousands on their 57-in plazma monitor or projector, and a lot of people feel that (sometimes in either case) the sub can be the difference between a dry experience and one that leaves you breathless. Subs are typically expensive speakers. In order to get a "blow you away" type of sound you generally have to drop some cash. You can sometimes get by with a pretty good deal on some great sounding main speakers under $500/piece, however it's rare that an earth shaker of a sub will come in much under $1000. Of course there are always exceptions (SVS's included) but to move a whole lot of air accurately and powerfully it takes more than a mass market sub.
