CM9s, now which Subwoofer???

[sal1k]

What is a nice "budget" sub I can buy to complement the CM9s?

I have seen Velodyne Micro / Mini Vee's for under $500 on Audiogon...

I'd like sub that's small, but can really round out the sound.

Thanks,
Sal

If you where local, I'd sell you my one year old MiniVee for $350...

I have the ASW608 ($500 new) and I have been very impressed with it. I will say the MiniVee has more range, and a little more punch then the ASW608. I took both home for a demo before I purchased the 608. They are both very good for how small they are. Either one would serve well....

What is your budget?

SVS has a nice closed box sub. Specs are like 14 or 15 inches cubed with a 12" driver. It doesn't go quite as deep as the ported boxes, but I have heard it still sounds great.

PV1 seems like an obvious choice for your short list.

I've owned quite a few subs, and small subs are just not that good for true LFE. If you do insist on a sub with a small footprint, then I would audition the Rel T series. They are small, and quite good. I owned the T2 a while back. I have also owned a B&W PV1, and while I like B&W, their subs leave a lot to be desired. The T2 was an all around better sub than the PV1. The T1 is also an option for a few more dollars.

For the record, like you, I currently have a pair of CM9s, and I am using a JL Audio Fathom f112 sub. Having experienced the JL Audio, it's kind of hard to go backwards at this point. Of course, it's not a budget sub so i'll assume it's out of the question.

I have a SVS that I use with my CM-7's and have been very happy with the sound. Mine does not have a small foot print, but I know they do (or at least did have smaller subs). Good luck!

Been out all day so just now am I catching up on the thread...

My budget is probably around $500 at the most. (I mentioned it to the wife, and she wasn't pleased; asked me "do we really NEED it?") I shouldn't have mentioned it. <mistake noted>

Back to topic... around $500... Maybe more if it's later in the year (my B'Day) he he he.

Ahh like I said, if you where looking for a MiniVee and where local I'd sell you mine for $350... it's barely been used. Too bad you're so far away.
