    athena AS-P6000 sub???

    I saw this sub online for around $250 shipped...I was wondering if it is worth it or should I just shuffle out the extra couple hundred to an SVS?

    Link for Specs

    It says it can do 21-120 Hz, but I highly doubt that for a $250 sub.

          I think that SVS is in a different league from Athena. Another good sub company is HSU. The price on Athena looks good though.

              Do you think I should just pony up the extra $300 to get an SVS 25-31PCi ??

                  No experience with Athena, but I've got that SVS 25-31PCi... it's an overachiever for the money... big performer for both music and movies... and SVS provides top-notch customer service, and reliable advice for choosing the optimum model for your room.

                  The Athena might indeed be a good value at the sale price, but you probably won't get much feedback on a little-known product like the P6000... whereas both SVS and Hsu -- as dedicated sub mfr's -- have generated lotsa positive buzz for a few years now... I've also auditioned the Hsu's (at shows), and they are equally impressive.

                  If it was my money, I wouldn't give it a second thought... spend the extra $300.

                      Thanks...I actually think I'm going to get the SVS 20-39PCi(what's $50 more???...lol) I'm pretty scared of the 16-46 monster(though it seems after serveral reviews both the 25-31 and the 20-39 are monsters as well)...I mean..seriously..I'm putting it in a 14 x 12 X 7 room(that's a lot of bass for a such a small room...i know, i know), but plan on moving it to a 24 x 27 x 8 room and I don't want to have buy another one if I'm going to spend $600.

                          Ask the guys at SVS about your future - and considerably bigger - room... I'm sure they'll have useful input.

                          Haven't seen it, of course, but a room at 24 x 27 x 8 often needs two subs.

                                  by Club1820
                                  Hello everyone. Would appreciate some help. I recently purchased a M&K Sub VX-860SF 250 Watts used on Audiogon. The sub was originally purchased in Nov 05' so its pretty much new. I looks beautiful (Cherry Veneer) and does in fact look brand new. I hooked it up last night to my 1052 and was...

                                  by corysmith01
                                  I've got the upgrade bug, but very limited funds and I thought of one that's definitely within budget, but was wondering how practical it is. I'm currently running 601 s3's as my mains. Now under most circumstances, I'm sure everyone would chime in that those are not enough speaker to be used as mains...however,...

                                  Hello

                                  I have the following RCD1072, RC1070, RB1080 with a pair of Dynaudio Focus 110s and I was wondering if there would be any benefit in adding a subwoofer to the mix? I was thinking of the Dynaudio Sub 250.

                                  The set up is used for mostly music with some movies ( but...
