Separate Sub Vs. Integrated Sub

75.40.243.89

Posted by Charles on December 14, 2009 at 17:27:42

I read Wes Phillips Definitive STS Mythos review in Stereophile, Was suprised that 2 x 300 W powered subs inbuilt in the tower measured lower 16 Hz compared to my Velodyne 10" SPL 1000 at 24 hz (1000 W RMS amp). Also would like to understand what glassiness in the mid range means ?.

I am a music listener, I have these options
- $3000 Definitive STS Mythos
- $3000 (Tower + Separate Sub anything else e.g. PSB Imagine T ($2000) with my velodyne SPL 1000 ($1000)

I can assemble a pair of towers and a sub still couldnt match Mythos low performance 16 Hz. Is there a way to get the low frequency performance and high clear quality musical sound or Is there a better option ? Any recommendation is appreciated.

Thanks.

Charles
