Hi all

So I have been looking for a a while for a Sub for My stereo rig. I have come down to the two mentioned in the title. This will be paired with Polk LS-70 and sometimes ADS L690 for music only. The room is about 14X14 and I will be upgrading from a basic cheapo Sony 8" sub-woofer. I was looking for a use one, but for the price of this two units is better to go new.

I will probably also do some testing in my HT setup just for fun and hope that it does not stay there and I end up moving the JBL to the room for music.

I plan to order in a few days. Any comments welcome....:smile:

Cheers

    If you are leaning more towards a musical sub, I would suggest the SVS, and if HT is more important the HSU.
