In another thread, I’ve received lots of information and recommendations regarding subwoofers. As I played some particular music tonight, it was quite obvious that a sub or subs would have benefited the sound tremendously. The LS 50s were glorious tonight, especially with the help of the newly added Icepower amp..thanks TomS...and the Border Patrol SE dac...thanks Emil. Based on what I’ve read and what’s been recommended here, I certainly lean towards the smallest, but still very heavy, Rythmik L12. Next choice would be the SVS SB 1000. Danny Ritchie’s subs aren’t being considered...they’re just too big and heavy.
What I don’t have is an exact grasp on is what are the differences that I’m likely going to hear going servo vs using a conventional sub. Is more information going to be presented? Will it be more accurate as to the attack and decay of notes? Will it sound a bit more organic? (I hope)
Some of you have heard servo subs at shows, dealers or friends homes or even have them in your homes. Is it worth the pita of moving a 58 lb sub with a hand cart and being extra careful so I don’t screw up my back? What are you hearing that makes you like a servo sub so much? If the differences are small/very small, then it may not be worth it to me.
I should mention that very likely I would be putting the LS 50s on the subs.
