Reccomend me a sub? (tannoy reveals)

Post by honkyjonk » Fri Jun 22, 2007 10:02 am

Okay, I have Tannoy passive reveals (old red ones). Main problem with these is they don't go low enough.

I don't want punch or boom, I just want extension.

Considering I might want to upgrade speakers in the future, can you guys reccomend me a sub that could serve me well w/ the reveals, but that is good/useful enough that I might want to keep it when/if I upgrade the speakers in the future. Just trying to think ahead.

But the main thing is more extension w/ the reveals. I can't hear anything down there.

What price range do you want to be in?
Genelec 7050A is real smooth, runs $1000
Blue Sky makes an 8" sub for $400 that's not bad...
There's lots of subs out there.
The more you pay the tighter and smoother they sound.

These are 10" powered sub, adjustable crossover on both channels and have a volume control so you can adjust how much of the sub you hear in relation to your Reveals. Best of all, less than $400.00. I am using one in the exact context you are asking about.

I have the Blue Sky sub and it was perfect for my room. I would be very aware of your room before buying a sub; to large of a sub and you might have placement troubles. I had a 12" sub lent to me from a friend, and I never could get it to open up fully in my 18' x 13' room. Droped the 8" 'BS' and I could have put it almost anywhere.

But yes, Blue Sky's kick butt!!!
