What Sub’s are you using / recommend

RSL 10E is incredible for $300 USD. I’ve also used the Jamo C910 in a smaller room with pretty good results. The RSL is much more textured and dynamics, however
 
Wiim Amp Pro with 2 B&W M1 satellites and a Linn Komponent 120 sub.

Speaker choice was dictated by the room, in this case my kitchen, which is quite small. B&Ws on the wall, K 120 on top of the tall kitchen units. Works well. Linn sub is not the best, but it fits the space... I have an SVS SB12 sub in my living room and that is a beast!

The Amp Pro addition in the kitchen has made it even better though, and that's all that matters.
 
For the SW-5:
Frequency range: 35-130Hz
My view is that a decent subwoofer should go down to at least 20Hz.
These are decent for a reasonable price
Frequency Response:
  • (anechoic): 26-200 Hz ± 3db
Frequency Response:
  • MKII/LFE mode (anechoic): 22-200 Hz ± 3db
 
Ok but isn't there more to it then how low the frequency can go?
Of course but now you're into trade-offs in the outer edges of optimization. There are some tracks that have low end tones that don't get exposed on equipment without the low-end range. Once you hear the detail on a track, it feels subdued on a system that can't quite get there. I don't have 'golden ears' so this is what works for me.

I think..one would just listen to 2 different subs blindly..one with lower frequency the other is the audiopro.
I wonder if you can say the one with the lower frequency sound better..is more accurate..if you know what I mean.
Numbers maybe don't tell the whole picture that's what I'm saying...

For sure...if you can find a dealer or manage to get two into your own system without a lot of switching hassle for a side-by-side comparison, this would be best. Good luck on your quest :)
