Olorin Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Maybe you should ask the folks at SVS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I don'd know anything about the Mirage, but in that large of a room you may want to look at some of the SVS offerings with the dual driver set-up. Either the PB12-ISD/2 or PB12-Plus/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 If you talked with SVS, I'm sure they asked you about your listening habits, room size etc. They are much more qualified to answer your question than most here (certainly more qualified than me!).

bonedoc Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 CECAA850 I saw you own both a PB12-Plus/2 and the PC-Ultra. Would you please share your impressions of these two subwoofers and compare them. Thanks, Bonedoc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 two = more of the same, do you want louder at the same frequency or deeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcjago Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Well, the 16-46 is -3dB at 16hz, and typically reaches down to 13hz in most rooms. How deep do you need it to go? Two 16-46s would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 The PCi subs are good economical subs if you are willing to live with their size (a 46" tall tube). The only additional opinion I could offer is the fact that these will dig A LOT deeper than your existing sub... maybe too much. I think some people get carried away with having the lowest possible cutoff point (-3db at16Hz in this case)... and trade off some efficiency for it, esp in the audible region. The 20Hz version is more than capable enough for most music and movies... but gives you a smaller tube and gets you more output (SPL). But we don't all have the same needs...

Randyman Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 thanks to all who replyed i guess I would like the bass in the louder freqency range more with the klf 30's with bass down at least 20 hz to 25 hz and being able to hear and feel them at loud levels its hard to keep the volume knob down with those speakers thay just sound excellent at loud volumes I want the sub slamming along with them so i guess i would like the loudess svs sub in that price range becuase I'm sure they all go deep enought for music there 95% for music 5% movies Thanks again all of you going to see which one svx recommends KLIPSCH got to love um Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Bonedoc. I don't hear the difference in quality of bass between the 2 like some people say they can. Of the 2 I thought I would be impressed more with the Ultra tube than the + box. Boy was I wrong. The PB is truly an impressive sub. Industrial, damaging, powerful, all come to mind when trying to describe it. Jeeeez is another one. The Ultra driver is no doubt a more capable driver than the + driver, but when you compare 2 plus drivers and allmost double the wattage to only 1 Ultra with half the wattage.... you get the picture. I like the PEQ on the Ultra, I wish the PB had one. If I could only have one sub between the two, it would be the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted March 3, 2005 Klipsch Employees Share Posted March 3, 2005 I am sure the SVS forum is a place that you could get more answers......Oh, wait they dont have their own forum.... Now if you ask how a KLIPSCH sub would work for you, I am sure we could help with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell him you have some in the basement and you'll get back to him as soon as you "check them out", to be sure one is in perfect condition. Then.....and here's the funny part.....you never contact the guy again and ignore his e-mails and private messages. Just leave him hanging!!! That would be so cool!!! Don't ya' think?.....No really....DON'T YOU THINK??? By the way, I found some tweeters. Thanks anyway..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's as close to a forum as they have. The owners will post there also from time to time although I've never seen them bash a Klipsch sub. I enjoy reading posts on both sites, I've learned a lot.
