Suprised the bowers don’t have lower distortion and less overhang as they use hypex nc502mp modules.Hello!
As I mentioned in the text, comparing the performance of subwoofers (especially active ones) under the same conditions is a very complex and difficult task.
But nevertheless, if you ask me for my personal opinion, I will be cautious.
The big winner of this event is probably Arendal Sound.
They really showed off their design prowess with a great performance for the price.
Bowers & Wilkins did an amazing job of getting their money's worth.
That's a significant advantage over some of the premium manufacturers who are just putting on a show.
Neumann really surprised me with its performance for its size.
Despite its 10-inch size, it performs well enough and has the ability to stop with a snap.
I was hoping for an upset with SVS's 3000 Micro, but no such miracle occurred.
If you're willing to give up some space for a subwoofer, it might make sense to buy the 2000 or 3000 series rather than the SB-1000.
(The performance difference seems more reasonable than the price difference).
it must be the driver.
