Hi, am ready to pick a new subwoofer in a budget of 400.00 dollars, i will welcome any input about the subs listed below since i am getting started with HT and need help. That said which one of the subs below can i buy with my 400 and keep it for a while?

POLK DSW PRO600 410.00 shipped

Martin Logan Dynamo 410.00 shipped

HSU STF-2 329.00 plus shipping

DSW MicroPRO 100 329.00 shipped

PSW505 239.00 shipped

the PSW505 is nice but how does it compares to the other subs listed above?

the system is mainly for HT and not music.

some specs about my setup and my room

Fronts Monitor 50
Center CS10
Rears Monitors 30 set of 4)
HK AVR254
SUB PSW10

like i said any help, input is welcome

I can not comment on the subs that you have listed as they are al better than the PSW110 that i have. I would recommend either the polks or the HSU. Also check out the ED a2-300. It is a good HT sub and is in the same price range. If you want to up the budget just a little I would check out the SVS subs as well.

i'll check the ED a2-300. I like the SVS PB10–NSD but my wife and almost all of us knows what this means) says that i can only have 400.00 for more junk (her words ) in the house, i think she gave me everything when she allow me to put 2 more spearkers for the 7.1 setup. I just want to make the best choice with the little money i have.

finally, i went crazy and order the SVS PB12-NSD friday and i should get it by 12/10. This is probably the best deal of my life since i promise myself i would quit smoking to get my SVS sub and i am 4 days smoke free (it feels good) and with a strong resolve thanks to my new sub. Everytime i get the cravings
for a smoke i think of my new SVS coming home and said to myself nahh is not worth it!

best $620 i have spent in my life

Excellent choice....and good decision to stop smoking: my next upgrade will probably be an SVS in this class or higher!

You did GOOD!

Nice work, that SVS is far and away better than any of the others that you listed. Good luck with quitting and enjoy that killer sub!

Thank you so much all for you support, i now have another question since that beast will arrive shortly, Will my Monitors 50 Mains and CS10 center feel underpower or overwhelm by the SVS PB12?? sorry for so many question but i am still learning about home audio and i need anything to keep my mind busy.

Sounds like a good choice. You're right it never ends. If you upgrade one thing you'll need to upgrade another.

Not if you calibrate it. IThas SVS should have a gain knob on the back, as well as that Harmon has a sub volume control.

It will be fine as long as you keep it turned down a bit. However... I'd say sell a pair of 30's and move the 50's to the sides and then buy some 70s from newegg for 180 each...

The eD is out of stock as of Monday, so I don't think you'll got one until after the holidays. I got impatient and ordered the DSW 600 from Polk Direct just yesterday...with the stipulation I cannot buy any more speakers or black boxes for......TWO YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(
