Sealed subs with better group delay or frequency response than KH750

[bachatero]

I'm considering swapping out my single Kali WS6.2 sub with one or more sealed subs because the transient response just isn't good enough for me. I have the Neumann KH150 speakers, so my first choice was the KH750 with how good its group delay and frequency response is. However, there are so many other options. Are there sealed subs with a response as good or better as this?

What is lacking with the KH 750 DSP for you? Considering you already have Neumann monitors, there is no need to look any further. The sub itself is very capable, and the MA 1 integration makes it no-brainer.

Rythmik should have low group delay, but it depends on the eq settings you apply. You could lower GD around sub & mains xo with FIR phase eq..

According to the measurements by @Nuyes (https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/i-measured-10-subwoofers.49042/) the KH750 has exceptionally low group delay. Since you have Neumann speakers, its compatibility with the proprietary MA-1 kit is a massive plus. It seems to be the obvious choice, as long as you don't need super high SPL.

However, if you are willing to do room correction via e.g. a minidsp, the Arendal 1961 1S measures well too (see the thread by @Nuyes or the review by Audioholics). FWIW, in my 2.1 system, I integrated and room-corrected an Arendal 1961 1S manually via a minidsp Flex and use it together with Genelec 8030c speakers. It sounds delightful to my ears.

(Okay, here's the English translation，ai said)
I'm interested in EVE Audio speakers. EVE's subwoofers have normal pricing in China. Imported studio monitors in China are generally priced reasonably, but their matching subwoofers are often unusually expensive. For example, Kali Audio – I'm currently using Kali LP-8s, but I'm being put off by the price of the WS-12. Is it suitable to use a third-party subwoofer? Would it be inaccurate for mixing purposes?
