Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Subs - SVS vs Axiom

I ordered the Stryke Mini-Thunder. Good price, spec wise it will outperform and play louder than the SVS or HSU, and they have a variety of finishes to choose from at NO EXTRA CHARGE. Special now is 549.00

dan, I don't know what you mean about me hijacking the thread. In response to not much difference in looks between the Hsu and the SVS...the SVS is much more stout. I thought there was a big difference. As far as performance, my SVS was much better than my buddies old Hsu cylinder, but it should be. It has a much beefier driver and a lot more power than his several year old model. His is close to its limits in a room smaller than mine, and you can hear it. I would bet that if I took a newer Hsu, however, and EQ'd it like I did with my SVS, there would be no discernable difference in my room between the two, unless I drove them much harder than whatI ever actually listen at.

Just like if you EQ'd speakers, I think you will hear a difference when playing music and/or movies.

I agree. We all seek to have very "musical" subs. I bet if you played some mid to low-bass test tones on different brand subs in the same room, they'd sound different.

Thanks for agreeing with me twice!

That's what I call a double buko .

Indeed.

I guess I clicked twice. too late to remove one of them.

How does anyone feel about DUAL subs instead of one? If anyone had a choice of going with two 320 watters instead of a 525 watter would they do it?

Choice:

1. 2x12" 600w SVS box sub (PB2-ISD)

2. PAIR OF 1x12" 320w SVS Cylinder

3. 1x12 525w SVS Cylinder

I can upload my floorplan, but basically subs will be in a 18x18 living room (i know i said 20 x 20 ...it's all approx) room that flows into a large kitchen, entryway, etc (all open).
