Hi, all.I'm going to be replacing a Dynaudio BM9S subwoofer in my music mixing studio and am looking for opinions on subwoofers (under $2500) that can go down to at least 25z and that have the following qualities:
1. HPF filters (or two-way filters) that are variable, or can at least go to 45 or 50hz. This is for a very specific setup/situation and I need it to be that low a crossover for the "satellites" (Amphion One18's).
2. Must have no AD or DA conversion at all. None. I don't need or want room correction software or any of that.
3. Accurate. This is for critical mixing and mastering so I need it to be accurate and to not hype the sub region. It doesn't need to be flattering -- it needs to be fast, tight, and accurate and show the subs as they are as much as possible, just like my Amphion One18s do for the rest of the frequency spectrum.
I know there will be tweaking involved with the setup, etc., but those are my three requirements. Almost all pro audio subs for some reason have very limited HPF options for the satellites, whereas audiophile subs seem to have more, in general. I look forward to any recommendations!
Thanks.
