Bill H. Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Bump..........any one have any knowledge on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruinsrme Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Bill This particular sub you were looking at would rate below or almost equal to the KSW line. My parents had the 12 version and the sub was so exaggerated every thing coming out of it sounded like a long drawn out 50 hz test tone. I had the P1000 and P500. I think you would yield better or equal results if you ran an rca cable into a shoe box. To be quite frank, if I have already been, look elsewhere. Klipsch RSW12 or an SVS or even a Hsu. do not skimp on the sub, it will really bring the most out of your system. I can assure you you will feel slated with CSW over time if not immediate. Good things about the CSW Newton subs, convenient controls and a nice veneer box but the quality of sound to dollar was simply disappointing. Good thing about the sub you listed uhmmmm let me think.......hmmmmmmm.........hmmmmmmmmmm I am getting there. Can't think of anything right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelman Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Sound and vision just reviewed this sub awhile back. If that makes sense. But it was the week one of the bunch with little sound pressure levels at low hertz. Yes look elsewhere. Velodyne kicked but of course it was the fifteen inch model. Hay look into oncecall.com. I just got a new mag intoday and they got the velodynes on sale big time. cht-12 for 277.40. Very good deal if you ask me. I doubt you can beat that price. Used maybe. I am thinking on getting one. cht-10 for 229. It almost seems like misprints i never seen them this low. cht-15 479.40 this thing rocks and i am pretty sure is the one that won the shoot out. I haven't even seen em this cheap used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Cambridge standard cube subs are nothing special,and the two micro Newton series subs get demolished by Sunfire and Velodyne in performance. Cambridge subs are poor performers. You want a micro sub with both quality and good output down low Sunfire and second Velodyne. Best value in a larger sub,HSU VTF3II or SVS PC-Plus(box or TP tube).

wheelman Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 The ear what do you think of them velodyne prices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Prices...the SPL series is priced right for the performance under such a reduced size.HGS and DD series you pay for servo control,worth only if you do not mind spending at least another grand.

Kind of disappointing that their HT components aren't made with the same quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Its not the case,simply the quality and competence of the best PeaSee speakers/subs falls way short of what one demands in a real HT.And is far left behind when you want a high end products(here a subwoofer). Cambridge(under the Creative badge) S750 may be a great set of PeaSee speakers but these pale in comparison to a full set of RF7/RC7/RSW15.And then again a RF/RW setup pales when compared to Dynaudio Contour/Revel B15.And yet again the Dynes and revel pale in comparison to a setup around Wilson X1 and Krell MRS subs. A Toyota Corola may be a great economy car,the Infinity G35 whoops it,the Audi RS6 whoops the Infinity G35. The more you pay...the better the product,not always but most of the time. Cambridge speakers are garbage when compared to the big players of the high end(Dynaudio,Focal being only some of them) And the Newton subs deflate fast when compared to the real competition(Sunfire,Velo and James EMB series).
