missed out on hifix they had a few for 395. the best deal i am getting is the 490ish from quantamelectronics. I will keep searching. I don't wanna go above 450. I am not bothered about hum as long it doesnt over power the sub hehehehehe. I hope it rumbles very deep on scenes like the plane crash on Flight of The Phoenix.................

When choosing a sub there are many things to condider, size , compatability , integration etc. From personal experience i would try to keep all speakers to the same manufacturer. I have just bought a Teufel THX sub which when played loud on movies sounds fantastic but at lower volumes it just sounds muddy. Personally i think the best sub you have mentioned is the RS-W12.

true. I had even considered the Mission 79AS to go with my Mission surrounds. will have demo on Sat in St Albans. Will take my iPod and a few CDs + 2012 blu-ray. I have heard lots of praises for the MA-RSW12 on different forums.

(22-08-2010)I had test done on Mission 79AS and wasn't impressed. It sounds well at low volumes but crank up th vol it struggles. The effects on Flight Of The Phoenix were not really brilliant. We used a Pioneer VSX-920 and Denon 2310. The sub lacked a refined edge. so will go for the rsw12 if I can find it cheaper.

I tried 2 cables and both had the hum.

Its really only a tiny buzz, but like I said, its beside my sofa and cant hear it as my tv is on.

I agree with the PV1 I would not buy, as you could get 2 wicked subwoofers than would destroy the PV1.

2 rsw12's would kill the PV1 from what I heard.

I dunno. I'd be listening to my super fast tight bass while you're listening to electronic buzzing by all accounts.

In all seriousness, the perpetuation of the myth that the PV1 is a sub which looks pretty, but couldn't punch its way out of a paper bag is getting tiring.

Getting there. It does sound very controlled I must say. I tried a track by Nelly Furtado it was very rich. Just need to get the final tweak
