anyone heard about Rogers sub woofer - ASB120 mkII? good? how much?

Not a good sub as it lacks accuracy and doesnt give the low end thump. But, cant complain abt that for the RM700 or less sub.

Where can I audition MS 309i ? Desa doesn't have it, only Carnival 9 (quite good with the lows, but at 100W too lacking power).

Hello htkaki,

Do you think Jamo Sub 300 =>cost around $1700 is good deal?

The reason I still think of Jamo Sub because I have the Jamo 606 package speaker. I did audit the sub 250 with 606 speaker...is much better if compare without....
I did try to audit Wharfy SUB 250 at DESA..$1800...but using other speaker...I am not really feel the power or cannot feel the different with or without the sub....may the area is open area
Desa recommend me another one...Porkaudio PSW125...$1500..I can hear the better bass....but don't still feel with or without which one is better.....just with increase boom.....

But I prefer down-firing Sub......

With my Jamo speaker....always ppl said it is better to have similar brand sub also...

Do you think...during AV fair 2008 will have better price?
*

That's the thing with pairing. Need to be cohesive with the rest. But, SW250 digs deep. RM1,800? Aiks, on offer. Coz the last I checked wt Desa, it nearly tipped at RM2K hmm.gif

If you are afraid, then Jamo would be a safer bet. Seems like Desa is pushing hard on Polkaudio to everyone.

which one will u prefer between a velodyne and paradigm . lets compare apple to apple.. 10" sub. your answer always nest  a golden egg.
*

Hehe blush.gif I am still a learner here..... If for 15" sub, be it Velodyne DD-15, I ll take Paradigm Servo-15 anytime. The bass is earthquake shaking and heart pounding with precision and pace since it go lower than 20Hz (if not mistaken). I think it cost more than RM11K, or more than that. sweat.gif

It hs a few midrange sub, with the PS better known here. Since it is musical too, it (PS-10) goes a bit soft unlike the 'hard hitting' CHT-10R. Dont misunderstand. Both are powerful sub for a 10". Movie fans would likely to go for CHT-10R while those who loves both, definitely go for PS-10.

On another note, CHT-10R looks better and comes with remote.

HTkaki Bro:
What is your commend on this :-
velodyne vx series 10" subwoofer?

Thanks....

VX-10 MK3 is no way near CHT-10R. It looks ugly to me too. No remote. Lacks low end grunt and power. It is the lower end model from Velodyne. Erm, I feels that my Klispch floorstanders do a better job than this. No pun intended and no offense to those owners here sweat.gif

QUOTE
I think I've read somewhere about Velodyne VX-10 MK3, it's not as good as the CHT series.

Thanks Htkaki for the info, I'm also into musical, I might checkout the Paradigm.  thumbup.gif
Paradigm has been around for some time. It does produce very good subwoofer. Only thing is that it is a bit 'low profile' here. Dont expect to see it being reviewed by UK mags as they are more bias towards European products esp homeland goods.

From what I've heard, Rogers subs are not recommended at all. Maybe that explains the cheap price, but certainly not good bass. smile.gif

Spot on. Only churns out 'whommpa, whoompa, sort of those bass that you hear from Ah Beng's car', but cant complain since it is cheap. Good thing doesnt come cheap sweat.gif

In terms of value for money and high rating, SW150 is the one. Both are very good subs for the money. But, forking a few hundred more for MS is a minus point here. But, it does look better than SW150.

I would go for SW150. At this price, nothing come close to matching it. But, I like long-throw woofer blush.gif

Yes Htkaki, the quote was from Asia Sound Equipment. You just gave me more options to consider, a good one that is. And I appreciate it bro. notworthy.gif

But worry not. Apparently the HM has other plans, I no longer had RM2.5k budget. I have to settle for what I can afford only. Look what came home with me yesterday:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Got it at A&L Audio. The new stock only arrived 2 days ago, and the manufacture dat at the back is May 16 2008, that only 2 months ago. Now it has 3 years warranty for electronics, and 5 years for the driver. They said they won't bring it to the KLIAV. And even if they bring it, if they sell cheaper than what I paid, they will refund the difference. So I thought, if I can get it now, why wait for another 2 weeks?

This sub is really good, though for music the Paradigm is a little bit better to be honest. At this size it already stands out in my living room, I just can't imagine if I brought home the 12". sweat.gif

PS: Htkaki, they're out of stock for RX-V1800, but their selling price is RM3650. I really like this place, this is the second time I did some demo there. The guy, Rick was so friendly and more importantly, honest. thumbup.gif
*

laugh.gif Finally settled for Velodyne

Rick is very friendly. I knew few of them there as they were the distributor fro PSB and Velodyne, which I did get from them yrs ago. Tks for getting the quote for me. RM3.6K quote is from A&L tongue.gif

Erm... RM 1500 for floorstanders, RM 400 for center + surrounds, 12 feet of audioquest-cinemaquest G2 RM 120 (RM10 per feet), Wharfedale powercube 12+ RM 1900. I only heard abt the cable and sub brand. For the speakers, i really never heard b4. The salesperson told my father it was actually producing high-end audio products yrs back, then now starts producing cheap audio product. he claims it is a US company, but then the quality built like cap ayam to me, not solid at all. The spec at the back of speakers also like simply write only. i can never find any info from google.
So, it is overpricing for all those equipment above?

RM1500 for floorstanders?! doh.gif It's a TOTAL RIP-OFF! rclxub.gif Wharfy powercub at RM1,900? I wld buy Wharfy SW250 anytime at abt the same price.

Finally tested the sub, after a week of running in. Watch Die Hard BD, boy, this disc has got a lot of LFE. biggrin.gif

I've decided to use the reference mode (classical/Jazz) for all sources (movies, music, games).

Firstly, the movie mode got too much delay to it, the bass seems to drag too much. Some people might like that, so it's not a downside to the sub. But the reference mode makes up to it, and gets low as I hoped for. thumbup.gif

Secondly, the reference mode sounds, to my surprise, very good with music. Every beat is on target, and solid. Didn't think this sub can be this musical. thumbup.gif

Lastly, I want to avoid using the remote. I was looking for the correct settings and wants to keep it like that as along as possible. I've got too many remote already, let's hope Logitech releases the RF version of their Harmony One soon, and my wallet is filled by that time. tongue.gif

PS: NHK? Isn't that the Japanese national TV station? hmm.gif
*

Will take note of the setting.

You can use the remote to learn all other remotes' signal. But, wont be as user friendly as Logitech.
