I am looking to buy the Athena Technologies AS-P400. Its specs are: # Directionality: Monopole # Enclosure materials: MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) # Powered: No # Removeable speaker grilles: Yes # Speaker drivers: 1 # Speaker enclosure type: Ported (bass-reflex) # Speaker terminals: Information not available # Speaker type: Subwoofer (powered) # Transducer type: Cone # Wall-mountable: No # Weather-resistant: No # THX-certified: No # Crossover points: Variable (40 to 120 Hz), with notches to accurately tune it to match various other speakers in Athena's Audition line # Frequency response (+/-3 dB): 23 to 120 Hz, +/-3 dB # Subwoofer power (RMS): 100 watts RMS (400 watts peak) # Amplifier: MOSFET # Anticlip circuitry: Yes (and internal protection circuitry) # Controls: Front-mounted # Tweeter (diameter): N/A # Video shielded: No # Woofers (diameter): 10-inch injection-molded polypropylene woofer with a rubber surround # Voice coil: 1.5 inches # Magnet: 28 ounces
I have an old JBL Arc Sub with specs: • Woofer: 8" high polymer laminate • Frequency Response: 45Hz - 150Hz • Crossover Frequency(ies): 50Hz - 150Hz • Power Handling, RMS: 80 watts
Is the Athena worth the $230 upgrade???? Advice/help appreciated, thanks.
