from Online Summary:
Was looking for a small sub for a 14x17x8.5 room to replace an Energy S8.2 that was buzzing like crazy. After reading a number of consumer and professional reviews, I settled on a choice between Outlaw Audio's LFM-2 and Orb Audio's Super 8. I chose the latter due to size considerations and haven't looked back. This little baby pumps bass for its size! And it's nice, taut bass too -- definitely what I was looking for. Had to turn down its volume knob two times: once as it was breaking in, then again after finding a nice BlueJeans cable I'd hidden from myself to replace a 20' long el cheapo I'd been using. All in all, a product well worth its purchase price. If you have a small room, limited size for a sub, and want excellent bass, this sub is well worth your consideration. Strengths:
-Excellent LF extension, below 30 Hz in my room (corner loaded)
-Good build quality
-Excellent parts; driver and amp look to be 2-3x more expensive than counterparts in this arena Weaknesses:
None except what you'd expect from such a small sub:
-Not the deepest bass you can find (but probably for the size AND price)
-Chuffing at ear-splitting volumes
-Phase is 0-180 rather than variable
-Power cord is attached rather than detachable
These are niggles, though! Similar Products Used:
-Paradigm PDR-10
-Adire Rava
-Energy S8.2
-Pinnacle SubSonic
-Orb Audio
(Yes, due to two moves in four years, I've now owned five subs. Only the latter two are still in my systems.
