| Certain items you just have to do some research on before you pull the trigger because when at the store there's no true way of finding out how it will perform in your own home.. subwoofers would be a perfect example of such an item. I've seen the audio niche stores with their perfectly configured showrooms where if you even place a generic grey market speaker it would probably sound amazing. Naturally going out on the internet there's no way to test-drive a subwoofer, so whats the best thing to do? Read up on reviews.
I am a huge fan of Polk Audio when it comes to speakers. Why? Well I know there are better sounding speakers out there but when I listen to them and realize for the type of quality I'm hearing and the price they're selling its a no-brainer! The last time I bought speakers was back in 2000, so when I went back out on the market looking for a subwoofer, I decided I was going to be non-biased and give other brands a shot at entering my home. After a ton of research, it pretty much came down to Klipsch and *surprise suprise* Polk Audio. What were my requirements? My tv-room is pretty large so I needed something that could deliver big life-size bass. Since I dont have neighbors and tend to prefer movies where rockets are blasting off and guns are being fired.. I wanted something that could deliver the audio punch I was severly lacking. All signs pointed me towards the Polk Audio PSW-505 or the Klipsch RW-10D. I was really impressed with how the PSW505 was consistently receiving extremely high marks through out all the different home theatre websites, as did the RW-10D but when it came to price the PSW-505 beat out the RW-10D.. decision made. Now I can feel the floor rumble when I turn up the volume when any action is going on and I'm that much closer to a true home theatre experience. I already dis-like going to the cinema so this has definitely given me more cost-savings by not needing to spend $50 (tickets+grub) at a dirty movieplex with a ton of annoying distractions. |
