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.

I have two of them in use in combination with my magnepan Tympani I . 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.

I received them today (11/27/22) and they're very solid and heavy (70-75 lbs) and couldn't imagine what the 12 inch woofers look like up close and they're supposedly 115 lbs. The shipping took only 2 days to arrive. Hopefully once I set them up they'll be a monster. Great review. 👍

What good is a subwoofer in an apartment? I remember my apartment days. I got complaints for loud music w/out a sub, for making noise chipping ice off the bottom of my balcony door, and cleaning something on my balcony. The water dripped down and someone complained. 😑 A rumbling 500W sub? I'd been thrown out.

Hello Joe, you should remove the driver to get a look at the motor. May be worth showing the viewers as well. It is insane for a 10" sub. You would probably have to spend $200 alone for a driver of that caliber if you were looking to DIY it. Now consider the cost of a 500 watt class-D plate amp. It makes the Monolith 10" THX Select a crazy good bargain.

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 жыл бұрын
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.

I have the SVS prime bookshelf and prime center speakers, and the prime Elevation speakers for my surrounds and height speakers. Do you think it won't sound right because of what you said that the mono is lacking middle bass or will it be ok with just having bookshelf speakers and not the towers with the Mono. I like deep bass but also like mid too. I just figured with the Mono being 500 RMS compared to 300 that it would fill my room more.

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.

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.

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.
