Been looking at this for months ever since I got my Q acoustic 1050i floorstanders with the 1000s subwoofer. The 1050i were replacing some missions and although happy with the rest of the sound they just didnt go as low as I would have liked. So I bought a Q acoustics 1000s to add to the stereo setup.
This was my first subwoofer so I didnt know what to expect but even with it added it just wouldnt give me enough low end grunt. Yes there is bass but nothing to be happy about and the port makes it sound muddy. Although not always but sometimes I would like to be able to make my windows rattle (dont worry my neighbours already hate me) So this has bought me to the attention of other manufacturers and im now in debate over the xls200 or the mj acoustics pro 50mk2. These are both around the £300 mark and both available in black. The problem is I cant demo the bk nor can it be refunded and Im thinking can I really get serious bass for this kind of money? Also how much of a improvement am I going to get over my 1000s (not the newer si)?
Some may spend £300 on a single interconnect but to me its a fair amount of money so all help is apprecited.
