And besides the aesthetic part, why would you be interested to move to the AW12? There are far better subs available at that kind of money, which I've repeatedly mentioned over here. In my eyes the AW12 and even the PV1 are too expensive for the performance they offer (the PV1D might be...

Ah, didn't stop to think that you'd sell them as a set. Prices in Belgium are still at the same level as they have always been: 350€ for the A10 and 550€ for the A40 (so 299£ and 469£). Good luck with the sale; I'm sure you'll get them a nice new home soon!

Man, if you were closer by I'd probably take a couple of those of your hands, but I'm in Belgium so shipping might get a bit expensive...

The thing about EQ is that it is there to help people who don't have the ideal listening room available. Maybe you're lucky and have a proper room but lots of people actually have rooms without curtains, hard reflective floors, relfective walls and so on that they can't / won't change. In that...

@ellisdj: although I agree with you on the fact that you'd want to listen to the amp without any kind of tweaks or EQ being done, I don't agree that it's impossible to test gear in a "living room". If they set up a "simulated" living room and use that to demo the EQ-ing capability and...

That is very surprising to say the least! Indeed, as you pointed out, the T787 and T757 get rave reviews all over the place (both pro reviews and personal reviews), so it makes you wonder if whathifi might have received a faulty one or didn't set it up right?

@jcshutts: I assume you're talking about 2x XXLS400 or 2x Monolith+? Even the 2x XXLS400 would leave the ASW12 well behind, not even looking at the Monolith. Do keep in mind that the setup of 2 subs could be a bit tricky, but something like an anti-mode could be a good addition to your setup!

Hi RickyDeg I'm still using the Marantz as funds are currently being diverted to our house... I've already explained my experience with the NAD and I still feel that they offer a sound quality which is difficult to match with other brands amps. One additional thing I didn't mention on here is...

@jcshutts: To be honest, the Apex sub is one of the nicest looking subs if you intend to put the sub in a very visible location. If you intend to use the sub to put something on it (plant, lamp, ...), there are a number of subs that should appeal. I personally have purchased the BK XXLS400 in...

@Greedy: What about just one of these instead ;) : http://www.jlaudio.com/home-audio-powered-subwoofers-gotham

Would love to get a demo of that Velodyne sub against the new KK subs! Man, those things must be insane :cheer:

Indeed! :cheer: ;)

Hey Rickydeg. I do understand that aesthetics can play a role, specifically if you're running the Apex without the front grills. But other than that I don't agree and believe the "meticulouse and seamless integration between the sats and the AW-12" is just marketing talk to justify the high...

Again, I'm really wondering why people insist on buying an overpriced subwoofer when there is so much more that can be had for the same price? Any proper sub can be matched to a sub sat system, so why would you want to pay +1000€ (at least where I live) for something that only performs up to...

Hi Christmas, I was in the exact same situation as you are with regards to speaker choice. I was coming from B&W DM-603 S3's so assumed that the B&W M-1 package would be my best bet. After having a first demo with them I found them to be a bit lacking; something was missing. After a lot of...
