How many B&W Owners have B&W subwoofers?

[B&W 700 Guy]

ASW-750, real subwoofer :evil:

[Bluespower]

No. Mordaunt-Short MS909 with 804s.

[marano]

Yes - ASW600

[Race Car Driver]

Just picked up a very nice ASW850 in matching cherrywood finish to complement my 805S and HTM4S setup purchased earlier this year. Was able to get a great deal on the sub on audiogon. Wow, does this thing deliver the bass! Actually, it's a bit much for the room I have it in now, but I believe it will be around for a long time, so I didn't want to go too small.

Ahh, you beat me to it by a few hrs. He said it was pending when I messaged him.
Enjoy! :T

[Blindamood]

Sorry, Race Car Driver! He actually lives about 20 minutes from me, so I was able to work out a local pickup. Definitely an advantage when the thing weighs over 105 pounds. A little tough to wrestle in the house, but I made it. :T

[WI Rotel]

Yes, 2 PV1's

[Chatterbot]

ASW 825 at my end.... wouldn´t give it away for the double price

[norwegian]

Velodyne DD15 with N804, HTM1, SCM1

[nyny]

No. Like many in the forum, I have a DD12 for my set-up.

Hehe, undestandable..
Just picked up an HTM1 locally from ebay, 30 mins away, cheaper didnt have to mess with shipping!

That thing has to be a monster. If you decide to sell it let me know

[norpus]

No I now have a diy IB sub with 2x18"
(Used to use a b&W sub though)

[chinets]

Yup, two of these puppies!!!

Yes, TWO (2) B&W ASW 850 Subwoofers :T ;x(

[ShadowZA]

Nope ... a Paradigm PS1000 version 3.

[Karma]

HI chinets,
Good for you!! That's how to get good, clean bass. Just to satisfy my own curiosity, what is your room size? And how do you like your bass? Do you ever feel the subs ever run out of dynamic range?

Sparky

[Race Car Driver]

Yes, TWO (2) B&W ASW 850 Subwoofers :T ;x(

;x(

[neil w]

neil

[RH Customs]

Yes, ASW 300

[chinets]

Karma's answer!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Karma,
Size of my TV room is 9 meters x 7 meters and they are placed at the sides between the 803s in the front and the 804s at the rear with a sofa in between. So yes ,real STEREO here.
The Bass is awsome and in HT i can feeel the room move ,or the air of a wind travelling through my room,or the air flying pass me if there is a car scene or a car chase ...JUST SENSATIONAL. In Music it is perfect, Dynamic and full smooth low warm bass. Mind you I have excellent acoustics in my room too ,so that could also help the Subs do there perfect job.
Both subs NEVER EVER run out of Dynamics. Sometimes too much Dynamics in HT if the DVD was not mastered properly, otherwise Not at all!!
How about you my dear Sparky??
Ciao Amigos,

HI chinets,
I lost track of this thread so I never answered your question. Sorry, I didn't intend to ignore another dual sub user :T .

Mine are dual ASW800's which use 12" drivers. I believe you have dual ASW855's with 15" drivers. My bedroom is much smaller than your room measuring 15X12X8 feet. The subs are placed along the 15 foot wall directly behind my stand mounted 805S's.

The 855's sound appropriate for your large room. I can imagine you have amazing bass both because of the subs and the room size. In my case, ultimate bass performance is limited by the small room. The dual 800's are probably about right for this room. Despite the room limitations, the bass is very good going loud and deep without obvious distortion. I had to go on a "loose things in the room" campaign to quiet things down during serious bass passages.

As you may know from my previous posts (and soap boxing) I have 805S's which are by their nature bass shy. I would never buy those speakers unless I planned to couple them with good subs. I love bass. The 800's pair up very nicely with the 805S's; almost like they were made for one another. The integration is good and the entire sonic presentation seems to be cut from a single piece of cloth. I really can't ask for much more.

In my system, the subs must cover a larger frequency range due to the bass limitations of the 805S's. Thus, the subs must be somewhat agile in order to integrate with the main speakers. I have the 800's crossed over at 47Hz and the 805S's are run full range for music. In this respect, I think the 800's would work better than your 855's in my situation because the subs must reach higher in frequency. For HT I use the processors high pass filter for the 805S's set at 40Hz. This is only to protect the speakers from outlandish bass levels. The crossover frequency remains the same.

I think we both have made the right subwoofer decisions. I think most folks expect too much from their subs and end up being under "woofed" (is that a word?).

Sorry for this long delayed response, Sparky

[BWzes03]

oh yeah, ASW-675 pounding its 500 ICEpower Watts through the 10" alu/paper/kevlar baby.. yeah !

[beden1]

yes . . . ASW 750

[Angioguy]

sub

No... Velodyne DD-12

[gross30]

No, (2) Velodyne DD-15's

[NMG]

No, I have a Paradigm PW-2200. I may replace it eventually but it does just fine for the time being.

[Sponge]

ASW 1000 but have gotten rid of the 600's that matched it. Its on the way out soon too.

[KRC]

yea, I have the baby in the 600 series and with my knowledge now of HT, I should have spent more and moved farther up the line. My living room is medium to large and I could have used the extra power/woofer size for tighter bass to fill the space. Same mistake for my centre channel, but that is a discussion for another thread. Question though, does anyone advocate the use of one of those dedicated subwoofer interconnects or is it fancy ad hype and you would get the same or better performance with a higher end interconnect. ;x(

[B&W 700 Guy]

B&w ASW750 and a SM1-I EQ

[kenkkk]

i have an MK v-1250 thx ..... so answer is a no

[Trapps]

Yes, ASW600. Also in need of an upgrade.

[Angioguy]

No frickin' way... Velodyne DD-12 with my 802D's!

[dhoff01]

yes - ASW675 (moved to stereo only) with an ASW CDM on its way...

[ac81017]

I have had B&W subs since I became a hifi freak! I´ve had as6, asw300, asw 650, asw 675 and now a asw 750, I´m hoping to buy a house next year, so I might just get another asw 750. I´m so happy with asw750, it has the same specs as the asw825, and here in Sweden the class the asw 750 as a high end sub, but most of all, it´s a fantastic sub. :T

[texasbwfan]

yes, asw825 paired with 805s...still considering purchase of 2nd asw825.

[BillBramha]

No, Rel B3

[ArtyG]

I have an ASW-300.
