LOL, I agree with that last part. More than 2 weeks and no reply. What the??

That's unfortunate.

Mark's customer service is ridiculous. Sent him an email 3 weeks ago, and then re-sent it again twice and still no reply. He's not running a business. More like a hobby.

No more Submersive for me. Will take my $$$ else where.

Christmas came early

Thanks for all the interest and kind words. It's all set up! And here are the pictures!

I used this:-

LOL, no seriously, the grill is screwed on to the 4 clips that htkaki mentioned. So all you need is a screw driver and voila! But on a serious note, the driver can injure small kids if they get too close when it's pumping hard.

Added on November 5, 2010, 11:04 pmHahah you're right. I'm getting a bit worried. Have to be careful when I play it and how loud I play it. When I first set it up. It was tearing my home apart things fell off the shelves and everything was vibrating.

Thanks!

You can get a Sub 25 and satisfy your lust

The Paradigm website says that it's 'accurate down to 9Hz'. I don't know about 9Hz, but it definitely does below 20Hz from what I've heard.

I was lucky. They had one in stock and it was the last one. I wanted to get the Sub 1 though, but was told that even Singapore didn't have one in stock. So I'd have to wait, dunno how long. Maybe 6 months to a year

No idea. How do I check? It's pretty new and has a pretty recent firmware version when I updated it. Maybe it's a v2?

Thanks! I think it looks great! It's very well finished. You're not the first to mistake the mirror image for dual subs! How I wish! But my neighbours would probably call the police with all the room shaking.

Thank you thank you

I just went through the AVS Sub 25 thread and couldn't find anything on it, and online, about the different versions. But they did talk about v1, v2, v3 for the Signature series speakers. As far as I know, there's no 'official' Sub 25 updates or versions. Maybe if you could direct me to the post, that would help. Thanks!

How does it feel? Well, after testing it over this weekend. I'm currently feeling a bit ill. Ill enough to turn the bass down.

Seems like there's a limit to how much bass my body can take. LOL Over dosed on LFE

Quick Review:
When I first set it up without MCACC or PBK, I quickly tested a few Bluray movies. Initial first impressions was that it was tight. Very tight and clean. The bass could start up instantly out of no where and disappear just as suddenly. Very dynamic. It was also a bit like an uncontrolled beast. Every bass effect hit me in the chest and I could feel it vibrating the couch - and this was only at 10 o'clock volume gain. A lot of bass that you feel more than you hear. Things fell off shelves in the room next door It was tearing my home apart.

After that I had to stop to go out for dinner and I set up the PBK and MCACC. The next day I tested the same movies and it was night and day. So well controlled. So well behaved. The sub still went deep and LOUD, but all the unnecessary vibrations disappeared. I played the movies I tested the previous day at 12 o'clock and there was significantly less unnecessary rattling and shaking. Seems like the equalization cleaned up a lot of the unnecessary, leaving all the good. It felt a bit bloated the day before, but no more after the PBK.

The Sub25 had the power to control the room effortlessly and also matched extremely well with my Cremona Ms. I was a bit worried that that it would not be able to keep up, cause the Cremonas have very capable drivers, but no such issues. Not just with movies, but music also.

It meets the magic 5 criterias - Loud, Deep, Dynamic, Low Distortion & Looks Great!

I'm thrilled. Worth every cent

Have you had the opportunity to try the Torus or PMCs? How did you find them?

Wah maybe Logit85 already bought dual Sub25s.

So have u decided between the Sub25 & SB13? I would consider dual subs if my room/home was suitable but it's not. So single sub for me. So I'll probably pick up another Sub25 when I move to a new place in the future. Hopefully they still sell it then.

ronaldjoe: Welcome to the Sub 25 family Now you're in sub heaven!

Ehhh... you have to go listen to the Sonus... admire it's curves... touch & feel the quality of the materials used... listen to how it sings to you with it's sweet sweet voice... makes you weak in your knees... then you would understand why I think it's value for money *poison poison poison

I thought the S8 was good, though feel the Sonus is on a different level. But as it's commonly said: hifi can be subjective

Does anyone have any experience with the Wilson Benesch Torus? My brother is considering one.

http://wilson-benesch.com/2010/06/torus/

Lol infrasonic generator. They created a new category just for it! Would you get a Sub 2 or the infrasonic generator?

Hmmmm that's unfortunate, thanks for the heads up. Don't know if they can repair Sub 2s in Malaysia. Probably have to send it overseas.. would be a hassle - something you wouldn't expect when you pay RM25k
lol - side tables. For some reason, my brother prefers the look of the Sub25, though I like the Sub2. In the end I think he's decided to go for a nice looking sub instead - B&W PV1 in silver. It'll be mated with a Sonus Faber Amati so it will purely be used for music. I think the PV1 should be fast enough.

I'm the same boat as you, I spent a few quick minutes trying to understand some specs and reviews and I still don't really understand it.

htkaki is right . It's not exactly a 'subwoofer'

Thanks for the resources/link. You guys are great!

No no.. not selling the Sub25. It's more than enough for me now. Will keep it for a long while. Will probably change speakers though.

I see you're selling your Sub25. You're not happy with it?

Oh? Look at ronaldjoe's signature - WTS Klipsch RS-42 Surround Speaker, SVS SB13+, Paradigm Sub25

Ehhh.. any other nice looking musical subs you'd recommend?

Thanks Anfieldude - good idea. Forgot about that. Would anyone know how it might sound compared to the other 15" subs in the Rythmik line?

Paradigm Center? Nice! pictures pictures please! Don't worry about the SF, like you said, the Paradigm is good bang for the buck, BUT it's only a matter of time, then you really should trade up to a SF you should go audition one. They've vocally very good centers.

A second Sub25? Nice... You'll have a real awesome sub experience then! Not that 1x Sub 25 isn't enough already lol I probably won't be getting another subwoofer for a long time. 1x Sub25 is plenty enough for me. Now I just need to save money for new preamp & amplifier @.@ those things are just so over priced

Great to know. They look pretty nice in Piano black too.

Thanks for the recommendation. I suggested to my brother the JL F113s though, but he wanted something 'pretty' to match his decor. The box subwoofers look a bit too conventional for his setting. I'd gladly go with 2x JL F113s.

That's the one I was looking at, that's why I posted a page back if anyone had any experience with it. It sure does look interesting. The other 'pretty' and considerably cheaper option that was considered is the B&W PV1.

Added on February 8, 2011, 8:06 pmThe G213 looks real bad ass! Though I remember reading in a Sub2 review that the reviewer preferred the Sub2 to the G213. And the Sub2 is cheaper to boot!

ya, he's building his house from scratch, so it's got a pretty nice designer decor. It's almost complete so he's working on 'furnishing' it with subwoofers and stuff! But ya, it will be matched with a nice pair of Sonus Faber Amati speakers, in a modern design, open living room. So a big black box anywhere in the room will stick out like a sore thumb! Hence the need for something that looks good. I agree. If only there was a way to hide a big black box

Oh... nice... I'm looking for pre and power. Currently considering the McIntosh C500 pre-amp and MC1.2KW power amp. Either that or a Pass Labs XA160.5. But I still have time. No rush. Still need to read up more and hopefully be able to audition.

What pre-amp do you have your sights on?

I'm of the same opinion, though I'll probably buy a 2nd Sub25 when I move to a different place for that added Ooomph for HT.

Congratulations, it's been such a long wait, I'm sure it's all worth it! Do share with us your full review!
