Paralysis by analysis. That's my problem. I've been contemplating a sub purchase for months to complete my system:
Marantz SR8000 (upgrading later this year to pre/pro)
Mirage Omni 250's fronts
Mirage Omni 50's surrounds
Phantom Center Channel
My room is 18x20', wood floors and one doorless stairway in the room. 50% HT/50% Music (Mark Knopfler, Norah Jones, All American Rejects, Linkin Park, etc - wide range).
My 80yr old parents live in an apartment adjacent to the HT :roll: so playing a reference levels is a no-no most of the time. So, I'm hoping to find a sub that will give me goosebumps watching GODZILLA but won't neccesarily shake their dentures out next door!
Which brings me to my topic. Reading various posts ADIRE seems to get kudos. Kali, Dhruva, Dharman - how do these compare to HSU VTF-2/3, Mirage OM200, Sunfire True, Titan, etc? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the name brands vs 'built to order'? Crossovers? Quality of components?
Please help free me from my chains! I need to make a decision, already!
