vagrahb Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Hi, I have been a silent member and currently in a delima as to which subwoofer to choose to pair with my ProAc Response D2's. My current setup is the Response D2's on Atacama stands powered by Plinius Hautonga. My source currently is the Logitech Transporter. I would like to pair the ProAc's with a REL Strata 5 which I know would go well but would like some inputs if I could try any of the newer REL's ? Currently there are a few nice offers on Ebay for the strata 5 and also nice deals at Eastwood hifi for the new models.
hyper Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Have you considered SVS IMHO better option around the same price 1
vagrahb Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 Have you considered SVS IMHO better option around the same price I did look at the SVS also and almost went for it. I was looking for the PC12-NSD. But not sure how it would go with the ProAc's. Any particular model of SVS which blends well ?
Gordon Macfarlane Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I would stick with a sealed sub for music replay : http://www.deephzaudio.com/SB12-%20NSD%20product%20page.html.

davewantsmoore Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 http://www.deephzaudio.com/SB12-%20NSD%20product%20page.html. Was copping some flack for a subwoofer like this (small) in another thread.... but I agree! :-)
hyper Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) http://www.deephzaudio.com/SB12- NSD product page.html Can't all have 15 inches I suppose . Edited July 23, 2013 by hyper
davewantsmoore Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 No, it was the small box size I was copping flack for (ie. small box compared to the driver size) Putting a driver in such a small box, makes it operate below its resonant frequency.... It's efficiency falls off drastically below its resonance frequency. Efficiency is good .... but I find that the sealed box needs to be much (ideally a lot of much) larger, if you want to operate above resonance. So it's either very small.... very big .... or vented (which I don't think is a good idea).
