I'm thinking of getting a KK DXD-808 subwoofer for my home cinema in the new house. Has anybody got any experience of it? The living room is 12'4" X 16'1". I like the fact that I can always add another in the future if I want to improve on it.
Ken Kreisel DXD-808 subwoofer - anyone got it?

I have had one for a few months now (arranged a group buy from the European distributors to get the cheaper price) and think its great.
My room size is 15 x 16 feet, and it is certainly big enough for this room, although as we are in a flat we don't get to really pump it up that often. It replaced a sealed 10" rel sub, which was rubbish in comparison.
Very clear, great tonal variation and more than enough slam. Goes deep for a sealed unit too, considering its footprint.

I'm trying for a group buy too....left a message on the other forum. So far, one has responded.

Hello young man, good to see you......still buying stuff without my encouragement, I see. *good*
What are your views about this subwoofer Cno? I know you have a respect for specialist subwoofer manufacturers.....and this one is made by the inventor himself!

On balance, I would expect it to be good......but can't say more than that, as I haven't heard it.
I heard it last year at Frank Harvey in Coventry. Was very impressed (although I heard the Duo and not single) Now only available from L Sound in Norway.

Ho Cno, yes I am still around. Not really posted much for a while but still very much lurking!
Bad news tho - the dog chewed through my speaker cables and shorted my P7, went up in flames.
The amp, not the dog.

Of that I have no doubt. I'm currently using an Anthem MRX300 and am very happy, as the room correction really is excellent, and when we moved the sound quality took a nose dive due to the new room accoustics.
When I win the lottery I intend to upgrade, but for the moment I have no need

Surprised no one else on here has this sub Bigboss. I would have thought it would be more popular!
Well, there was only 1 dealer of KK products over here, and house rules didn't allow the dealer to talk about the subwoofer over here.
Lack of demo facilities don't help either.

I don't think you will regret it. I am watching Dredd ATM with it cranked up and it is an awesome sub. Can only imagine what the big brother 12012 can do!
If your 808 is any thing like my new toy you are going to LOVE it
If I could work out how to change my sig on the new site everyone could se that I now have an MKSound MX350 Mk 2 and it is awesomw
So the story is the 808 is as good if not better so....................watch this space.

Possibly for overall output, but we found other aspects like quality and speed of the 808 to be superior.
