    PV1 vs PV1D

    PV1 is 500w vs 400w PV1D. PV1D has room eq and other new technologies. Which one is better?

    Someone must have done experience with the 2. Say something

      Only heard the pV1. It's different in other areas isn't it.

      The PV1 is great to hold, it's like a big bowling ball. Very tactile.

        I have no experience with either. However I have the DB1 and I would say the room compensation is worth it on the PV1D. The lower power rating is irrelevant as the 100w difference wont make a meaningful or noticable difference. Also the room compensation will reduce the boom across the measured range( ie room modes), reducing the need to amplify what you don't need.

          No boom. Super clear and clean in my room, and this was before my bass traps. I don't think I actually heard the sub but it rattled the cupboards up the hall. Freaky.

            Have you confirmed this with some form of measuring tool? Graphically or some visual means, or is it just by ear? Also without having seen your "bass" traps I would speculate they are more broadband absorbers. To trap bass it becomes impractical to do by physical means unless you use a tuned trap to address a specific problem(especially when using 1/4 wave length to be effective, which determines device size). I used the term boom loosely just to highlight room modes which every sub will influence, in every room and which the B&W room compensation can be used to reduce, to give a more linear response. Note linear response is not ideal depending on many factors, which I wont go into.

              I guess you are right Windshear. I am considering that PV1D advertised on the other forum.
