I have a pair of SVS-2000 sealed as well. I love how they sound, and don't take up much space. I used to have a monster 15" Rythmik Audio sealed sub that literally could move mountains. It was too much overkill for my small room...not to mention the tremendous amount of space it took up.
For what it's worth, my sub is in the corner, so it's outside of my fronts. If I move the sub 2-3 feet from its corner position, the bass just disappears at the main listening position.
Yeah, I have been dialed in on my subs with directions from inside help from REL, actually Norcal rep came over my house, and this is what we came up with.
Genelecs are definitely nice but really the OP can pick up an old SVS PB10 isd that's flat from 19hz-150hz +/-1 db for peanuts and walk away with outstanding performance.Its a big black ugly box that weighs 60 lbs but it does the job
This is the recording of the Organ Symphony that FUBAR'd my SVS sub. If you really enjoy this piece, I would highly recommend obtaining a copy. In surround, to boot! Truly a "reference recording."
Oh hell the yes. Anyone who's heard a huge pipe organ in person knows why!
I have one of these as well. Plus an SVS, a Velodyne and a BIC PL-200. All 12". Nice deep ever present bass without being boomy. Incredible as well for watching movies. My other speakers are floor standers (4 for fronts and backs), a center and 2 bookshelves for the surrounds on the wall. They are all matching with the same tweeters and the same multiple 6.5 inch mid/bass units. Very happy with the sound. The subs all seem to complement each other and fill in holes making the bass pretty much the same anywhere you sit or stand in the room. I say bullocks to the idea of not mixing the subs.
