And in talking about the speed of a sub or how fast the bass is, we are really talking about its Dampening, which has to do with how well the enclosure is made and baffeld as well as if its ported or not and servo controlled. Non ported subs tend to be "faster" or dampen unwanted woofer movement better than non-ported subs. There are many factors that make a sub "fast". Sub's that dampen better are much better for faster paced music and speakers.
SUBS ARE AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME.
And gone.
The plate amp burning out on my asw 1000 is the best thing that happened to me.
I am a new devotee to stereo bass.
I NOW have a pair of Axioms (m80s) with plenty of bass and have said goodby to subs forever.
I am getting some of the best imaging and solid image I HAVE HAD IN YEARS.
I guess subs will always have a place in HT, but for music two big honkin floorstanders
ARE IT
