It's a REL subwoofer equivalent. In home cinema, I can enjoy very deep bass (almost infrabass) with some punch in the body.
And in Stereo, it's a very melodic subwoofer.
If the Phantom can handle basses the same way, I would be very please.
The upper subwoofer of this brand is a 12 inches subwoofer (http://www.bkelec.com/HiFi/Sub_Woofers/XLS200-DF.htm).
This one is REALLY really good (17Hz-120Hz).
In theory, it should be equivalent at what the Phantom offers. If this is true, it is quite amazing. But it is just theory... It has to be verified!
What is interesting is that I planned to buy two Phantoms. So it would be like having two mini-subwoofers.
I suppose it is enough for the bass if it does what it tells...
If anyone has anything to say regarding the comparison between subwoofers and phantom...
Well put this way...
I had a 802D, 2xMusic Fidelity Superchargers, and a REL Britannia B2 subwoofer.
I've sold them all except the 802 which should be gone in the next couple of weeks.
Do I miss any of that. Not one bit.
That should answer your question.
In most respects the Phantoms equal, no I would say SURPASS my previous set up for movies and music. BTW, I have a 3rd Phantom that is still in its box, ready to act as the Centre channel in what the sales rep called a 3.0 setup. I have some stands on order and when these arrive I will be able to space out the left and right channel even more and set up the 3rd as my centre channel - this of course will be properly implemented when the 'movie' firmware comes out later in the year. Yeah baby then we are going to kick some 'ass'.
Finally the Spark app is CRAP. However, if the promised changes take place and with future firmware upgrades there are going to be a lot of embarrassed companies and audiophiles who won't like to admit that they have had their day....the NEW KIDS are on the block.
