Best Subwoofer you've ever heard???

I don't know if this thread was ever made. I am a serious bass fein and have owned three subwoofers. My first was a Paradigm Servo 15, then a M&K MX-350 MKii, presently a SVS PB13 Ultra. As time went on the bass obviousely got better & better as I went on.

I think with my set-up and tweeks( Hifi Pyon Mythology sub platform) I have well defined, acurate, deep & solidly controlled bass. I am curious if I or anyone can help with advances in another subwoofer and explain they're experiences with all with either home theater or music. Myself, I am 65(movies)/35(music).....

Any good, highly damped sub that's been digitally corrected. Compensating for the room's destructive effects down below 100hz or so is a game changer - IMHO. I use a Velodyne SMS-1 DRC unit with a pair of Rythmik 12" subs. The Rythmiks are a very fine design, but real world priced with no pretense to SOTA status. Still, they beat the hell out of any of the non DRC units that I've heard.

Again, just my own HO.

I have heard a few good ones but JL audio stood out as on of the best sounding. It lacks some integration features that other subs have but once setup it is quick, clean, and powerful.

I saw som one mentioned Thiel. Thiels subs are very good but more geared towared pairing with thier own speakers. If you want to put them with another brand you need to add an integrater that is very expencive.
