The T series are great. I knew Richard Lord the man that set up the company. He used to come up to my hifi business and was so full of enthusiasm, one of the likes of Quad's Peter Walker. BK if on a budget. REL has been excellent for me in a dedicated cinema room. Originally Posted by deejay.

Meant it could easily be hidden in a room corner but allowed for the spacing from the wall to be as per the recommendations. It's been fit and forget and sounds great.
I don't have a huge room though. The build quality is great but then it should be given their track record. Originally Posted by tomp.

We've since moved so the Velodyne will be going in the family room and we're building a dedicated cinema room with build-in speakers and subs which is a bit of a lottery as you never really know how they're going to perform until they're in situ. Thanks for all the responses everyone. Another BK fan here. Had about 5 years now xls, not problems Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. My old monitor audio SW gave up the ghost just before Xmas, so replaced it after 13yrs with the newer model.
I looked at other options, but either size or looks got them removed from choice by the wife! Just to update all on this thread and extend thanks again for all responses I ended up choosing SVS SB via American Audio, great service from them and just getting rest of the setup installed and tuned.

I was wondering has anyone previously owned one and 'upgraded' if it can be refered to in such a way.? Also is there any noticable diifference re sound presentation in the downward firing models to those that are forward firing?
I have suspended wooden flooring, with neighbours below me so I'm trying to bear this in mind. Anyway, any pointers will be greatly apprecaited. Mar 14, 47 0 0. TrevC Well-known member. Jun 12, 19, Jan 27, 51 18, BK have a reputation for being very helpful and giving good advice. BKs antimode is tempting.. Re the AVI I've kept an eye on the 2nd hand market and I think the prices are still a little too steep for me.
The BK models are at the top of my avaliable budget. I know the AVI sub is forward firing so wondered if this was the best bet, even if opting for a BK sub. It will be primarily used to compliment music playback, although with the occasional movie watching but music is my prime objective. Save yourself pounds by buying your subwoofer and accessories at the same time.
BK Electronics have been manufacturing subwoofers for OEM's in the Hi-Fi and AV industry for at least 20 years, producing for our customers sub bass systems that have amassed 5 star awards and untold accolades.

The inch driver and W of amplification also play their part, as does the addition of the passive radiator, producing sound pressure levels so deep, well defined and distortion-free that it made me glad my house is detached. It's fair to say that BK hasn't designed the PSB-PR just to simply deliver incredibly deep bass, but any self-respecting home cinema fan would be lying if they didn't admit this kind of performance puts a smile on their face.
Edge of Tomorrow 's repeated beach assault offers plenty of opportunities for this sub to produce perfectly timed bass energy as explosions tear up the sand and heavy gunships slam into the ground. However, the BK is also extremely nimble, handling the transients with skill and adding a solid percussive thump to the gunfire and a nice sense of weight to the exo-suits.
This sub is capable of retaining a level of detail and texture that sets it apart from many of the other inch subs I have tested — regardless of price. The locomotive in Unstoppable offers various different low frequency effects that combine to create a cohesive sense of scale and power. The sounds combine elements such as the exhaust, the wheels on the tracks and the movement of the train itself. The BK defines each of these low frequency effects, resulting in a specific bass signature that helps realistically portray the feeling of an enormous runaway vehicle crashing through your room.
Overlord has a wonderfully dynamic soundtrack that makes extensive use of low frequency energy to give scenes greater impact. The film's opening parachute drop kicks off with flak ripping across the soundstage, and the PSB-PR ensures each ordinance is delivered with a precision that is suitably visceral. As one of the aircraft erupts into flames you can almost feel the heat, while another plane crashes into the ground with a seismic impact.
The BK also adds a percussive kick to heavy machine-gun fire, along with giving the flamethrowers real force. However, the addition of a passive radiator means that it isn't totally sealed, and internal air-pressure changes are relieved by the passive radiator moving in and out.
What that passive radiator actually does is create a larger effective drive area without the airflow noises that might occur with a port, and provide better control over the frequency range. The passive radiator certainly achieves BK's goal of delivering bass below 20Hz, but how does it affect the sub's speed and timing? Whiplash is the perfect test of these particular subwoofer traits, thanks to a soundtrack that's full of incredibly precise and fast drumming. Miles Teller's final drum solo is as crazy as it is impressive, and it results in a flurry of flashy percussion.
I was delighted to find the PSB-PR keeping pace with the drum sticks, delivering the underling bass with speed and precision. There are undoubtedly faster subs but considering the depths the BK is capable of mining, it's still a surprisingly fast performer that's capable of some impressive transient speed. The performance is outstanding with controlled and responsive bass that goes very deep. Cons Nothing at this price. The direct sale model undoubtedly helps in terms of the pricing, but there's more to it than that.
BK has applied a straightforward ethos to designing and building its subwoofers: using a well-engineered cabinet, solid construction, and high quality components. The manufacturer also avoids unnecessary frivolities, instead taking a no-nonsense approach that concentrates on sound quality.
