Is good to know some numbers and specs. We just try to get info to give some idea. Listening in actual in showroom or other room is also the same thing. Just to get some idea. Than of course the decision is go or not. Maybe is still 50/50 but that is what we get. I am bit more kiasu to stick with brands that I know is good for me. Usually i don’t audition or even bother to check on specs. I just go with my gut instinct 😁😁. Happy hunting

As long as you keep open minded on selection, there will be many good choices. Just not like some who swear by the numbers and measurement. 

Yes Rm700 cheaper than sb1000

Hi..i want to connect my laptop to speaker...the only input to speaker is using audio optical ..so 3.5mm audio jack to optical converter to convert my laptops 3.5mm jack to optical audio? Does it work?

recently bought a Q Acoustic 3050i & 3090ci, any sifu can recommend me a subwoofer to pair with these speaker ? budget below 1.5k 

dont think you are asking in the correct thread.. but anyway..

does your laptop support optical output? if not, i dont recommend this type of conversion.. your laptop soundcard change the audio from digital to analog to output to 3.5mm jack.. then you need to do a conversion to digital back using ur cable then ur speaker will again change from digital to analog 

does it worth the trouble?

if you are serious about audio and willing to invest, you can consider DAC/Headphone Amp like Fiio K3.

connect it thru usb to your laptop and the digital audio out from k3 to your speaker. the good thing about this is you can still keep this unit even after you upgrade your laptop or you want to use it on your desktop. Fiio that i m using can be considered as upgrade over most of the build in sound card that laptop/desktop offer. The best of it, you wont go thru the conversion over conversion where you will lost audio signal every time it get converted.

Currently looking at Q Acoustic 3070s, not sure it is a good buy or not and I kinda agree with u, I dun need a sub tat can shake my neighbours house down 😀

thx for explanation bro, my setup intention was 50/50 (music & movie) build, which mean i have to look for 20hz freq range sub right ?

ideally la if you dont care then ignore.. if not 25hz to 30hz is also good enough.. most of the floor stander can do around 40hz d, you will feel it.. but find something 10inch min you cant defy the rule of physics.. u cannot bawak kancil and try to challenge 200kmh
ur 3070 is dual 6.5" it certainly will play louder at certain freq but you are missing some freq in the other hand.. by right your crossover setup should be 80hz at ur 3050i and below 80hz is sub realm.. u bought a 1.5k sub that give u 50-80hz.. might as well i pay yamaha which able to give me 25hz - 80hz that cost <1000.. of cos audio quality between the two sub is another topic to cover

unless u r really pro and you figure out you dont need the extra low frequency and you found your 3050i setup you try out all d but missing out the chunk of 50 - 100hz range then 3070i is something you can consider.

very much agree bro.. but that will required good floor stander and amp.. low freq need a lot of juice from amp.. i dun have both so i rather my sub take the punishment and relief it from my amp + not so great fronts 

Disagree.

I have a pair of of Ascend Acoustics Sierra Towers, they are rated down to 40hz but in-room is about 31hz and are very efficient too (92db/1m). Sublime towers but they benefit from having a crossover of above 60hz. Want to know why? Because unlike your sub(s), the front L and R can only be placed at ONE specific location of the room to form the "golden triangle" between it and the listener.

Bass is all about gelling it with room modes, which you have the freedom with sub(s). I can tell you with absolute certainty in a non-odd rectangle shaped room, 2 subs along the middle path of the long walls of the room (the L and R walls basically) crossovered with the mains at 80hz (in my case, I go as high as 90hz), is MUCH better than subs in front of the room with the crossover down at 40hz.

dont say your last line la sound like u sudah tak boleh... i am always here we can always share...
i forgot if i have share to you or somebody else...
i had tested... i drop my crossover 60 i lost the dynamic and detail from the fronts.. my floor standing can do 40hz..  the bass is better but i lost the dynamic so i reverted to the setting and let the sub do the job instead.
even for thx they recommend 80hz crossover thats why i always recommend ppl who new in HT to start with 80-120hz.. one day they will become pro like u they will know how to play with..

And that's why I said earlier to doi0728 not to buy fart boxes at RM1.5k, save up till he can get a SVS sub.

yup 1.3k , another option is Q Acoustic 3060s but it is a 35hz sub

u got any sub price range between 1k-2k tat can hit 20-30hz recommend ? and im thinking to upgrade my AVR as well, between Denon X1600H & Yamaha V4A , any comment for these 2 model ?

thx bro    btw i quite like the Klipsch R-100SW design 

No mission subwoofer please
ktek said jangan to Wharfedale subwoofer which seems to be same as this mission sub.

I know...there is nno argument between woofer and subwoofer,  but since I have 4 12in woofer, I would like to drive with it first. After getting my new amp, if it cant drive it, then I may consider a sub.

This is the speaker I have
http://www.nrpavs.co.nz/archive/Sold_htm/TechnicsSB-A28.htm

This kind of speaker got good bass?
I had something similar before, sansui speaker, 3 way the woofer cone so huge 12.xx", but still need tone control maxed in order to screw out the mid bass, and it's not going deep low below 40Hz tho... Good for hall disco usage, but not for movie watching taste, haha.

Guys, svs pb2000 pro suitable for bilik besar mana ya? I'm aiming for a single sub.

So basically 2*pb2000 pro is better than pb3000 for normal study room 20x15x12 feet? Or even dual pb1000 pro will do?
