My 803's and HTM1 are on the way and eta is 4 or 5 days. I also need ot replace my older asw2000 sub and I ordered a new B&W asw800 sub on the recommendation of my dealer. Has anybody listened to this sub with either the 803's or 804's and how does it sound for music and HT.
I was considering one of the new Velodyne DD series, probably the DD-12. It is a little more expensive and has received wonderful reviews. It has the new state of the art texas instrument chip which allows for specific room equalization and may be more cutting edge than the b&w.
The B&W sub will work better aesthetically as it is finished in natural cherry and this will please the mrs. But, I ordered it because it is supposed to be more musical. The Velodyne reviews indicate that it is also supposed to be very musical. When I think about how I will be using the sub - it's useage will be about 85% for HT, and 15% for Multi-Channel SACD and DVD-A. I generally do not use a sub for music - that is why I chose the 803's over the 804's.
What do you think - I ask again. I still have some time to waffle and/or change my decision on the sub.
