Hey, I’m looking for some input on buying a sub for a home stereo system. I currently have a Sony STR-DH590 receiver, which makes pretty decent sound and I am happy with. It does have some heating issues when it gets cranked up, maybe due to the tight cabinet it’s in or maybe just because it’s a cheaper receiver. Also have a pair of JBL Stage 180’s hooked to it. They are pretty dang good for the price point. Super clear and can be maxed out without any noticeable distortion.
I am looking to add a sub and just because I could match my speakers, was looking at the JBL Stage 120 which is a 12” ported. After reading plenty online, I also learned about the SVS series of subs. Looking at a SB-2000 Pro which is sealed.
These two are completely different subs and the price difference is also pretty big.
I am leaning towards the SVS just because I don’t want to be disappointed, but wanted to get some opinions. Any other brands you guys are fond of? I’m open to ideas.
BTW…although it is hooked up as a home theater, the primary use is super loud rock music! Wanting to shake the walls a bit!
