Rotel & B&W user... Need to upgrade my sub

[Mike Gehring]

Current setup...

Receiver- Harman Kardon AVR 7200

Rotel RB-1080 (200x2)

DVD- Rotel RDV 1050
CD - Rotel RCD 1072

B&W-DM 604 S3 (Towers)

Martin Logan Grotto (SUB)

Panasonic 50" LCD Rear Projection



Anyone have a suggestion for a great sub that's compatible with the 604's. I have a Martin Logan GROTTO 10". This is an awesome sub but is lacking a bit in the low end.

I listen to a lot of hard rock, some rap, and a bunch of classic rock. Most DVD’s I buy are at least 5.1 or DTS. And I listen to a bunch of DVD-AUDIO. And usualy play my CD's in 2.1.

I want tight sounding bass, but I also want that low end that makes your entire body rumble.

Not that I have to buy from my local Audiophile dealer but they are offering me a 100% credit toward a new sub. That's a $1000.00 credit. This is what they have to offer any suggestions?

The ASW 675 rocks!!! Fast low bass. Great value for the money. If you ever need more rumble just add another one for some real sick bottom end action. The 675's out sell the 650's five to one at our store. :T

The ASW 800 is a discontinued model. I just bought mine in Sept. for $1450 ($2200 retail). I am more than happy with it. It goes well with my Rotel spearates and B&W N804.

I really like the Martin Logan subs. I would try a Descent. It's a nasty fast sub with kiler low extention.

Also if your really into music I would lok into Rel. Rel in my opnion is the very best muscial sub one can buy. I'd look into a Rel Storm III. Or if money is an Issue try looking at a Rel Strata III.

I have a MJAcoustic Ref1 and can recommend it for music and movies. It is like the RELs a musical Sub that sounds very precise and controlled. Plus you have 2 independent inputs, one for stereo music and one for HT which have independent lowpass filters and volumes. Because of this, it was for me the only way to go.

i recenlty bought a rel storm 5 for 1100 euro (about 1300 us dollar). Normally it is around 1600 (not sure?)euros. And i must say i admit with everything you say

Also won a whathifi award and some other prices.

In all my years I haven't found a sub that sounds better. They are crazy musical.I plan on owning a Strom III or 5 very soon.

Mike,

I moved this thread as as while us Club Rotel people ae nice guys, there really isn't much Rotel specfic conection here - it is more "what's a good sub for my seteup"... You should get some additional inputs here...

Geoff,
It's already being discussed in the BW Forum as well. This is really a duplicate.
