Very interesting demo today...

Err, surely the sub output on the AVIs is variable, so that once you've got the sub level set up correctly the sub volume will just go up and down with the speaker volume?

yes

Right you are chaps. Sorry. I'm a subwoofer ignoramous who should not make assumptions.

yes

Does this apply to any sub one might use with them?

Not sure it's possible to answer that question definitively, there are an awful lot of subs out there, but it's not dependant on the sub, it depends on the sub output of whatever the sub is plugged into, provided that output is variable (ie goes up and down with the volume control) then this will apply.

It'd be a major PITA if you had to change the sub volume every time you turned the amp up or down. It'd be unusable in fact.

Thankyou sir.

JohnDuncan:Simon Lucas:

JohnDuncan:The bass on the AVIs was not so much subdued as totally absent, and the PMCs were not much better

Bass-wise. They were better speakers (obviously).

From memory, in pure SQ terms, how do the PMC actives compare to standard DB1S? When I tested them with my Arc the bass response was impressive for the cabinet size.

OK John, if you had to choose the PMCs or the AVIs...?
