I'd say getting a couple of good subwoofers and learning how to dial them in would be a worthwhile upgrade for sure.

Home theater mixes have lots of bass, so that might be a place that has a big impact versus other places you could spend money.

I'll reply with a quote that supplements this conversation.

"I believe you have to hit the ball hard. If you can come off the ground swinging at it, and your head has remained perfectly still, then you're not swinging too hard.

"Distance is everything in modern golf."

-- Arnold Palmer in ... 1962.

I always thought Stricker's swing fit the bill. No crazy, athletic moves or club/body manipulation.

Audio 101...we don’t buy transducers to listen to measurements and test tone/sine waves.


Numerous super/hyper cars put up better performance numbers across the board when compared to the 911, yet the 4.0 six-cylinder 911 keeps on claiming the top spot at the Ring. Why is that? Is the 911 a beginner’s performance car?

Sincerely don't want to derail the thread, but your example here is fascinating to me.

Let me make a couple of statements I think are true, then continue.

1. Quality measurements are helpful and can tell you a lot about a speaker.

2. Measurements can get you about 80% of the way to finding a speaker you want/don't want.

Your quote above is interesting because it's really comparing two different kinds of tests. 0-60, braking distance, etc. Are one kind. The 'ring is just a different test, really.

Having seen the Audioholics measurements mentioned, the SVS and Monolith sub comparison didn't have huge difference in output. The extra SVS features probably make them easier to dial in, too.

If the SVS rolled off starting at 30 Hz, then yeah, they could be called 'beginner subs' based on measurements and I'm betting your ears would agree.

OP would do well with SVS, Rhythmik, Hsu, and several others mentioned here.
