    This Monolith THX 10 was measuring down to 16hz in my room. Of course that will depend on the room, but it's pretty amazing what this 10" sub can do.

    For the past 3 years now,it's for the price a sub that does some really incredible performance. In stereo and home theater .. it's been a incredible value for me.
    I also have 18 inch jbls in the back of my space that will be replaced by 2 more of these. The woofers in the monolith , are insane quality .

    Got this for my bedroom during its holiday sale for $450. It's awesome. Have the miniDSP HD hooked up to it for better optimizing the bass. I had to get the SVS isolation feet to decouple from the floor because it was just shaking and vibrating too much shit around the room on the 2nd floor..which felt and sounded nice, but I knew I wasn't getting accurate bass. It's an awesome sub that can really stand with the 12" subs.

Question: what do you think what quality of a sub that made us feel to the bone like in the dance club and movie? low frequencies like this 16hz sub with higher dB? ported vs sealed? or by sheer physics: size of the subwoofer? say in a 1000sf room.

    I tested the PB3000 vs the SB3000 and it knocks it out of the park, it sounds louder, deeper, and definitely lower. I have a Sonos sub too in my room, and I love that little thing, but the Sonos ARC and Sub don't even come close to the emersion/sound that my 2.1 SVS Ultra Bookshelves and the PB3000 do...it is freaking awesome to me! I wanted to get the REL15 during their black Friday sale for 11000 from Adorama, but they didn't offer free returns (You have to pay for the shipping back to them) so I decided on the PB3000. I might try one of these Monolith for my 2.1 computer setup...but I'm still tempted to listen to the 15 REL....

  • @dan_hitchman007

    You would have to go up to the SVS 4000 to get an equivalent sub (output spec wise) to the Monolith 13 THX sub (it may be marketed as a 13" driver, but it's actually a 15"). Yes, it may have an EQ app, but if you already have decent calibration software you don't need to spend the extra money.

    So, for a 18x18 room would you recommend a single 12 or a pair of 10s? It's $200 moe for the 10s but that's a lot more air that they will be moving.

    • @joentell
      @joentell  3 года назад

      I think a single 12 would be impressive, but there will most likely be some nulls in the bass response somewhere. Dual 10's would help with that. Or you could go with a single 12" with he plan to upgrade to 2 in the future. I think dual 10's would be MORE than enough though.

Is the Monolith THX 10 subwoofer just as fast and clean sounding? I will be buying two if I can just make up my mind any help would be great. Size of the Monolith THX 10 is the biggest I can go and price point.

      The SB would be a significant step back for HT since it's a sealed sub. The PB would be a better choice but the monolith still has an edge over the pb in terms of deep bass. If you can up your budget another $116 though the HSU Research VTF2 MK5 will outperform both and is arguably the best HT sub under $850 new. Not unless you build your own sub.

    Would love to see you test the BIC America F-12, H-100II and PL-200II. They seem to consistently get favorable reviews online but most of the reviews are subjective without graphs. They are all rated down to at least 25hz and everyone seem to subjectively think they do go lower than other subs in their price range so would love to see you confirm that. If so, they would be a good compromise between cost and performance.
