Anonymous | Anyone heard anything about this sub? Supposedly, it's the super budget version of the rocket UFW and ULW subs. It claims to have trickle down technology, but how good is it actually? |

Silver Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 610 Registered: Feb-05 | cool... paradigm minis are great speakers for the price, and the NAD is a great intergrated for the price as well. please feel free to register anon! you probably have much more to contribute! now for my next question... how big is your room? if it is decent sized, or is open to an adjacent room, you may want to look at a bigger sub. I can't judge its performance because I haven't personally heard it. |

Silver Member Username: GmanMt. Pleasant, SC Post Number: 852 Registered: Dec-03 | The Onix XL-S or the HSU STF-1 sub will get your bass down to around 30 Hz. Putting either of them in a room corner will help bolster the bass performance. If you really want bass that can go to 25 Hz with louder SPL's, you will need to look at the higher priced Onix or HSU subs. As Onix lets you have a 30 day return policy, it would be worthwhile to try the XL-S and see if it gives you the desired performance. |
