Sub for Aerial 10Ts

I have a REL sub that I preferred over many other subs i auditioned. For strictly music listening, I preferred the cleaner sound (faster, smoother) of the smaller woofers (10") over the larger (12"+) models. Also, REL subs produce an awesome smooth low end (down to 10hz in some models) while using these smaller drivers. REL subs are highly rated for both music and home theater applications. It is the only sub that I know of that allows both LFE and high/low level connections at the same time, with seperate gain controls for each input. I also like their "ABC" circuitry that allows you to finely tune the sub to both the room and the main speakers. The Revel is also an excellent sub.
Also, i would not purchase a sony dvd/sacd/cd player combo player if you are listening to cd's most of the time. Buy the best cd only player you can afford and you will be better off. I have a sony 9000es player for my home theater setup and use it for sacd and dvd use only, i do not like the sound of cd's thru it as well as the Classe cd only player i have in my music setup. I demoed quite a few SACD/cd (from the cheaper Sony players to the $7500 Marantz) combo players before i purchased the cd only player and I liked the better cd only players (Classe, Arcam, Naim, Meridian, etc..) over the combo players.
Good luck.

with proper speaker placement and equalization settings, you will be wowed with the SW12...I only have one with my 10T's...two would be quite something

The best sub I ever heard is Linn's Seismik. I throw it our there for consideration, but I would add to the chorus that the Aerial sub is quite something. I drive my 10T's with a Sim amp (no sub), and I can hardly imagine the visceral grunt of 10T's on a Titan, plus a major sub. I hope your room is concrete!

Since you want the subs for HT I recommend the cylindrical subs from SVS. They play very loud and very cleanly. No boominess at all. And, they don't cost an arm and a leg. They aren't the subs I would recommend for integrating with Maggies, for example, but for HT they are the best bang for the buck I know of. I have had one for about 1.5 years and couldn't be happier. I only use it for movies. My Soliloquy 6.5s are full range like your 10Ts and I continue to use them full range during movies. I only route the LFE channel to the sub.

You've got to hear the SVS on U-571. The depth charges will shake your chair. In my previous house my listening room was 22'x26' with 14' cathedral ceilings. One 39CS, their middle size which is tuned to 20Hz, was enough to shake the floor in that room. I once tried to see if I could hear any break-up by using the Bass Mechanic CD and increasing the volume while playing 20 to 40Hz notes. I gave out before the sub did. I couldn't stand it, it was so loud. There was a brick fireplace in the room that was flanked by drywall. The sub was causing the brick to rub against the drywall making some pretty scary noises. I must have excited the resonant frequency of the chimney!

They have a 45-day money back guarantee, not including shipping, so you don't have much to lose by trying them. Their web site is www.svsubwoofers.com. I have no affiliation with SVS, I'm just a very satisfied customer. I can't get over the amount of performance you can get from them for $500. If you want more opinions on these subs go to www.hometheaterforum.com and ask around. You'll find a bunch more SVS fanatics like I am.

Nighthawk, That sounds like a pretty good sub since I will only use it for HT and the price can not be beat. Hell at that price I could get 2 of them and still have enough to by the Bat cd player that Bemmer mentioned. which digital cable are you using Im using the Nordost silver shadow right now Thanks for all your replies it really helps
