Hi, just entered the forums as I too am an avid Pioneer fan. Would like some advice on sub woofers as my HT is missing a good set!

Currently looking at the HTP-RS5 with the included S-RS3SW and additional speakers (bonus). I'm using a 606 as the amp so the pioneer 518 is planned for another system setup or maybe a preamp.

I did an audition for the RS3SW and it was great even in an open environment. Price given at Harvey Norman was RM1999 but got it down to RM1899 IF its a straight payment.

Would love some advice and feedback. Thanks.

I've always been a Pioneer fan yet there are so few selections for subs. The only other sub I can take is the 20 cm sub set only, priced at RM1200 (roughly). I chose this because it gives the sub + xtra speakers and an amp for 2k. Can you suggest any subs for me to narrow my search? I aim for some deep bass if possible. Thanks.

True, bigger is not always better but its Pioneer! Had an old Pioneer amp at least 20 years old and it churned great audio till something fried and lost output to one side. Had always loved Pioneer for its bass and not too pitchy treble. I admit, it may not churn out low frequencies but I'm thinking with a 30 cm woofer, my house/room should be having an earthquaking experience!

Forgot to mention that I'm looking at it for mostly movie setups. I can take it for music as well but sometimes you have to use the headsets for better clarity (that's just me). My point is, I want an explosion and not a dull thud. I want to hear rolling detonations which doesn't sound like balls dropping on the floor.

Anyways, will check up on the other sub woofers available. If the woofer is around 1k I may consider just taking it.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Keep it (feedback/opinions) coming.

Would like to ask for opinions on subwoofers. I did test other models like BMB or anything below RM 1.5k. BMB was good for music but failed during a Transformers movie test. Somehow the explosions were too soft in that audition.

Can someone please advise me on a good subwoofer around 1k or maybe a set with speakers around 2k?
