Power Sound Audio XS15se Subwoofer

Conradicles

Now that I have a new man cave in our new house basement, I'm looking at new subwoofers. Size or appearance is a non-factor, as it will be hidden in an audio video closet behind the TV and front speakers. Currently I run a VMPS smaller sub, which has a 12" driver and 12" passive radiator. It does a nice job, but it is a very large room and I feel I need more low end pressure.

My budget is around $800.

This XS15se looks pretty interesting. Former SVS guys running this gig. Based on the LAB15 woofer which gets much respect in the DIY world.

Any other sub's I should have on the radar? Anybody run one of these PSA's?

Rest of the system consists of:
Front = polkaudio SDA-2B
Front Height = in-wall 8" 2-way
Center = polkaudio CS350-LS
Rear = polkaudio FXi3
AVR = Pioneer SC-1222K
PC = APC H15

Here are some pictures for reference. The door behind the front stage wall leads to a nice media closet where the subwoofer will reside.

Here is a link to the sub I am thinking about purchasing:

I like your setup Eric, and I like the looks of there subs, I just bought Rick's SVS sub or I would have looked them over even more.

I own the SE's predecessor, the XS15, and that thing has changed the way I listen to music and movies. Very musical, and for movies, the thing digs so deep it sometimes feels like someone is grabbing my leg from under the couch.

All of the PSA sub's are getting rave reviews. The ported model looks nice too, but I think the sealed version will fit my needs perfectly.

And made in the USA.
