ron,

That guy stopped replying my mails after promising to get back to me....I'm a little tired. Now considering my choices.

pierreye,

I 100% agree that I shd put in more effort, but my only worry is if it is so difficult to get them to send a simple reply and follow up, god forbid, what happens when we actually run into problems?

I finally gave up and have now used the ignore function on LYN!

I had a friend who bought one recently below RM1300 but he bought speakers as well. If u can get them to RM1300 it shd be a decent deal.

I agree that the smaller subs probably cannot fill the area, however, with some time taken to consider proper placement, it shd be no pushover. Might not get the slam u r looking for, but still u will feel the presence.

2 1/2year old kids rule! I agree.

Have not heard either....so hard to comment.

So far, in all fairness the best subs I hv heard are Seaton's Submersive, SVS PB13U and the Velo SPL1200. In that particular order (for movies). The Submersive and the PB13U were a toss up and very close to each other, which speaks very highly for a 13" SVS since it has the power to match a dual driver 15" sealed. I regard the Rythmik very highly, but have not had the time to spend with one so a dual F15 shd be also good, if well set up.

Price per performance ratio, the SVS is hard to beat.

One of these days I would love to understand how well they integrate with music

Congrats...continue to grow ur product range...

Holfi FTW! htkaki, is this ur setup? If it is, how does battery powered sound. IMHO, Holfi is the closest reproduction of tube sound that is not tube based.

The .1 channel will not be present.

Dolby Standards does not allow for rechanneling ur subwoofer channel to mains.

Ur front speakers are set as large so it shd be full range.

Set the crossover to full range if possible, normally if there is no subwoofer present, it shd set at full range.

Did u run Audyssey?

Most likely, information below 80Hz is lost on all channels. Also LFE .1 is not channeled to the mains.

Edit : Removed double bass as it is not relevant.

Ur main speaker goes down to 42Hz. So ur satellite speakers are causing the 80Hz cutoff as you said. Nothign much can be done for now as it is the limitation of ur amp.

I would suggest getting a sub to solve ur woes.

To add:

Also price alone does not mean its a good sub....

The ID companies seem to produce good subs that are much better priced.

ID companies have their disadvantages. More and more ID companies are realising that serving the international market is more difficult that the domestic market. So in essence, to give some people who like to have peace of mind that there is local warranty available the appoint agents/dealers to serve far east markets. I think it is a good move. It also allows people so far away to actually hear the product 1st before buying.

I would advise you to PM htkaki as I believe he can work out something based on your budget for some demo sets (if avail) or a little extra to meet ur needs.

If u still do not want to, there are other brands out there like Sunfire, Velodyne and other who market the traditional way.

RM800...is tough to get a active subwoofer. Even Velo's Impact 10 is RM1300. Why not check with Junwei in Kuching he might have something that someone traded in....

Passive or active?

pierreye,

Any reason why they point the SPl meter upwards, its shd not matter too much but I was under the impression that it shd be pointed forward and slightly angled upwards...

Time to calibrate the pj! And fire up the SVS!

bro, set the crossover at highest possible, I believe the last time I checked urs was already set up at the highest.
