Hi to all the sifu's of HT. I'm in the market for a subwoofer for my HT. Something about the range of the Velodyne CHT15Q. Has anyone out there used it or auditioned it? If so, how did you find it?

Any other recommendations around this range?

Thanks and appreciate the feedback!

cheap and good

Director CT Seong comes liao.

how cheap is consider cheap??
if i remember correctly..not that cheap

Thank you for all the replies!

Hah.. that's a very good and concise reply. The sub is almost RM5k, so is RM5k still considered cheap?

Would you get 1x CHT15Q or 2x CHT12Q for almost the same price if you're looking for sound quality?!

Go for CHT15Q if you want boom boom pow

two always better than one...
not?

how much is the CHT15Q? that would form a basis of alternatives...

I bet you may have auditioned CHT-15Q at junwei's shop

Hi! Can you please share with me where Junwei's shop is? I'd like to go audition!

Thanks

shuto1, junwei is from our hometown in sarawak kuching. Dont think he have stock for 15q right now. But certainly i think he has 12Q in stock .

Oh, nvm then, thanks for the reply anyway!

bro ronaldjoe & hsiengloong has auditioned the 15Q at CT Seong's place ... dunno y they haven't shared their comments

Maybe Docan will see this and share since he has 15Q.

I've heard it briefly once before and output not bad. Is the price really close to 5k? Big jump from the 12Q, which is about 2.7k.

Should be that price as the power is almost 3x (750WRMS), IIRC.

For elite 5k is nothing for them...

was quoted RM4.9k before from hifichoice in Penang

should compare 15q with spl1200u

I used to play the MK125 but tested the CHQ15 at my plce for a wek or two lst year. Like it, bought it.

Thanks for the feedback. My room is medium sized. Do you think the CHT15Q would be over sized for a medium sized room? I live in a condo too! Ooops poor neighbours downstairs. Or should I consider the CHT12Q.

Thanks!

I never listen to SPL series b4. but my CHT 15Q is more than enough for my little living room

Poor? I think Taikoh Submersive's neighbour is poorer *lari cepat cepat*

If it is close to RM5K, then it is indeed a big jump there. The SPL1200U will easily outshine it for abt RM1.8K more.

typo prob? no SVS promo... ?

Listened to both of them together. SPL1200 was much better.

This thread is abt Velo lah, boss. So, no SVS talk

How does the 15Q stack up against the SVS NSD series, specifically PC12?

thanks for all the replies. I think I'll seriously go consider the SPL 1200 Ultra then. Appreciate the comments!

Since you asked abt it, I am not too sure as nvr did a side by side comparison.

Anyhow, I do have the CHT-12R FR graph. The 15Q should not be that far off.



And here is PB12-NSD (it is almost similar to PC12-NSD) :




Someone is selling his SPL1200Ultra. If you are interested, pls let me know.

Tuakeh, who? Bryan or HS? Or someone else.
Looking at the graph, SVS NSD wins...but it's just FR graph.
I heard Velo, it's emphasised more on the 'hard bass' side, good on 30-40hz output.
The bass output sounds very hard to me.

May be...it's robin...

hsiengloong if u reading this...it is just what i felt with spl1200. for the price, it doesn't give the feeling that i had with pc13. spl1200 does not has enuf rumble that i like. so for movies i don't prefer spl1200. never listen to 15q before so cant comment much but i bet it's like my 10r but can go lower and rumble more.

all in all spl1200 is one heck of a sub but not to my liking. hopefully pc12+ is up to my liking since peasant like me can't afford pc13

arremie, ronaldjoe is one of the few who had auditioned both PC12+ and PC13-Ultra. Maybe he is able to tell more abt PC12+.

I just texted our taiko HS. He didn't reply me.
He is not back fr HK yet most probably. He still have 10 titles with me.
So I can say 'bad' thing on SPL1200. He won't notice.
Probably he gonna switch camp soon

TS can always test his short-listed subs first before putting his hammer down.

not saying bad things about spl1200 bro. just saying its not my taste. nevertheless it's a great sub

donno when i can make it to mike's pad. been to sapro's a couple of time. very close to my place.

My take is that you prefers ported sub as it is able to rumble and a bit more tactile. Sealed sub runs clean and tight.

Sealed subs meant for stereophiles

stereophiles don't use sub

Better still go for two sub! One ported & one sealed. U want Boom Boom Pow which rumble the ported sub will provided, u want tight ass..........ops I meant tight bass, the sealed sub will provided.

The best of both bass.

Actually, it depends. Most proper floorstanders typically go down to about 40Hz (-3dB). Actual musical instruments (bar the pipe organ) does not really go down that much lower than 30Hz. However, if u combine the floorstanders with a sub u actually will get +3dB down to 25Hz at least. What this gives u in essence is that the low end (<100Hz) boosted up by a few dB. Normally, this is refered as house curve (the typical frequency response curve being flat all the way meaning better). As a matter of preference, there are people who like it this way, that's why a sub to enhance the low frequencies.

I always wonder how would it be evened out with one sealed and one ported sub.

AFAIK, it aint easy and you need to spend a lot of time to experiment.

I am thinking of experimenting it with AS-EQ1 hooking a sealed sub and a ported sub of near similar strength.
