is this better than pb13?

I would see PB13U still wins hands down over single empire.
Dual Empire (USD1499) might give a fight to a PB13U in term of performance, but not the price that we can have it here from taukeh htkaki.

It's stated clearly in their FAQ that they are not accepting any international order currently.

Did they promise your buddy in Brunei anything?

Bro, I'm not chaging. I see ported SVS would still win this single Empire.
Dual empire would cost a bomb with its freight charges as it's very heavy.
It's just that the intro price of USD799 is very tempting.
Someone else is considering as well.

Thanks bro for the suggestion.
Would DHL be more secured?
It's like 40:60 now, seeing all the potential hassles.

Ha ha bro, bila angkat itu barang?

I'm wondering how would these dual opposing drivers of Empire look like?
How would be the layout and the placement of the sub?
Would the driver be one active and one passive, with so called 'force cancelling configuration'?

secured means? lost? or damaged? depends on packaging also..

My concern: lost or damaged...

This single Empire would give a good fight to Velo subs since it's sealed type.
300w RMS per 15" driver seems a bit low.
It would give very good mid bass and lose out on the low freq extension that SVS subs have.

Taukeh, just tested out.
C/o at 80hz, the rumble comes in.
C/o at 60hz I gain better sound stage for concert as the response is more even.

some rooms able to take c/o up to 100Hz with beautiful effect. One need to experiment in order to find out which is best smile.gif

Try your front as 'Full Band' setting with the rest c/o at 60Hz. LMK the result.

Taukeh, so sorry as my room still ain't in best setting. Once I had the 6 new panels done and into position, I'll invite you over again  wink.gif

Set. But now wifey has taken over it to watch tvb series. Kenot test now.

Hi guys,

After doing some study, i found out that klipsh/synergy sub-12 kind of boleh tahan also (based on the specs)

Frequency response: 24 - 120 Hz +/- 3 dB
Power handling: FTC rated power: 300W continuous @ 1% THD , Dynamic power : 650W
Max acoustic: 117dB
Driver: 12" fiber composite cone - down firing
Amplifier: BASH digital hybrid

Anyone using this sub? Is it good?
What is the price?
*
I used this before.
Actually I still am having it. Kind of boomy. For HT still okay but boomy.
