Hi Erin. Something you mentioned in this video made me think would be a great video is a how-to on integrating a subwoofer to the mains. Thanks !

[nonothing]

He was trying to show off the sub, but my eyes were on the TMNT arcade. That was beautiful.

Given my size constraints (as I live in a condo) I decided to go with two of these subs. Overall I've been very happy with the sound quality and low frequency extension. Now keep in mind that I don't push my system beyond 90db so I'm definitely not over driving them. In a perfect world I would have loved to have gone with the Rhythmik sealed 12" F12SE, but the additional 2" all around was just not an option and would have overwhelmed my living space.

[MichaelTheOrange]

Awesome review man, working on trying to implement subs myself in two chan. Glad to have stumbled in here.

[Audio_Simon]

You articulated what I wanted to say about KEF vs. Monoprice very well.

[peterpida]

Did you review subwoofer from Rythmik? I would cut my leg for your opinion on servo subwoofer!

[shaolin]

KEF is full of it! 11hz at F3 that makes means it digs deeper than a JTR 2400!!! hahahah KEF marketing is out of their minds. :D

[Natan]

Kef just released the new version, KC62. Curious at your opinion 🤓😁

[mikesalz]

Thanks for another great review, Erin! I have 1 KC62. In your opinion would I be better off getting a second KC62 or replacing with a single KF92?

[amitmathur]

Great video! One question: Does a room with high (possibly vaulted) ceilings, say 17 ft (9+8) but a "smaller" floor area, say 300 sq ft, count as a room with 5100 cu ft volume or smaller equivalent room for the purpose described?

[biggchinoxxl]

Would be nice if you can do the RSL speedwooder next, and do a shoot out of all the smaller (10" and under) subs.

[FlyOnAlbatross]

Man oh man all of these videos on compact subs are coming out at the right time.

I’m saving for Black Friday/Cyber Monday come November.

I’m stuck between getting a SVS SB-1000 Pro or the SVS 3000 Micro.

I’m willing to spend up to $1k, no more and if I can pay less for more boom all the better.

I’ve looked at REL HT-1005/1205 and RSL Speedwoofer but just can’t decide if they are competitors.

I have a 13’x12’ room. I use a desktop setup with Kilpsch the Sevens.

I want a sub to take over the low frequencies because I recently heard the Sevens at a friends house who has an SVS SB-2000 Pro hooked up and they really just had me jaw dropped for a solid half-hour listening to some of our favorite music.

[davidhoover]

I was wondering is RBM subwoofers were going to catch on and improve, but I haven’t seen it happening!

[macmovieman]

I liked your video and I decided to place an order for one. It’s going into a smaller office at around 12’ x 12’. Would you call this more of a musical sub versus a home theater sub? I didn’t hear you mention it and I’m not sure if that plays a role in your data or not. I do hear people talk about texture when they talk about the Rel sub and sometimes the KEF.

[andreasjonsson]

Please review the Audio pro 5.1 active speakers

[idray]

Can you ask for the reference 8b subwoofer. Pretty please with sugar on top

[Tellus]

As always, thanks for a good review. Any chance you'd be able to test the Kali Audio WS-12? Your one the few places for proper measurements, and the Kali sub has been hard to find anything on.

[Tmkize]

How is kf 92 compare with reference 8b? I have never seen a review of reference 8b.

[bencausey]

Thanks for your videos. I wish you’d time stamp a section where you officially give your review product a thumbs up or thumbs down, so to speak. I have tried to watch several videos, but I end up fast forwarding, looking for whether it’s amazing, decent, or crappy. I would watch all of your videos if you did that - just my measly two cents. Thanks again.

[vintageflanker]

Thanks Erin.🙂
This one, I don't know... it doesn't have the cute form factor of either the KC62 or 3000 Micro... At that price (2399€ in EU, pretty uncommon when a KEF product is actually cheaper in US...) and size, it is simply not competitive against SVS, Monolith or XTZ.
