Actually, tube traps come in many sizes.
You just have to look for the right one for your room AFTER you identified the root cause of the acoustic problems.

Sad to say that DIY tube traps are very difficult to get locally.
You can source from oversea but then, the price will be high.

When was the ad?
Please check with the owner if the item is still available for sale.
I feel that RELs are more suited to music.

I'm just back from Taipei. Another busy year ahead for me.
I am waiting for your SVS. Probably I wouldn't have much time to fiddle with it when it comes.

Every time I look at this bass trap thingy, I would sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

The reason I asked for the date is because The Star ads are usually being posted a few days later after the seller wrote to the publisher.
Possible that it is already sold.

Errr.. No idea what it sounds like when it comes to movie.
Do drop by CMY to find out.
Or you can contact the seller and check it out.

Found a post on AVS about the Paradigm Sub 25's output:

QUOTE
The SPL figures below are from anechoic measurements. For in-room response add 3 dB per nearby boundary, so if the sub is in a corner add 9 dB to all the numbers (that's where the data sheet's 125 dB of clean in-room bass comes from).

The Sub 25 puts out 9 Hz cleanly up to around 89 dB - after that it's limited by the DSP. We could make it go louder but it won't be clean. This is still better than not having 9 Hz response at all, and it's not like some manufacturers who say that if you input 8 Hz you'll get 120 dB out when what they're not saying is that it's loaded with distortion and/or containing no fundamental tone to speak of. From 17 Hz and up Sub 25 output is linear up to 108 dB. Beyond that the DSP rolls off the deepest bass off and the remainder goes up to 116 dB cleanly.

Impressive performance. Will try to call Asia Sound to check whether they had this compact monster for demo.

Still in a dilemma over sub?
