New PB12-Plus or PSW1000

[fish976]

Looking for a recommendation for a subwoofer with a budget of 1k and looking either at the psw1000 or New SVS PB12-Plus....Mostly will be used for 2-channel.

[Lowell_M]

From the glowing reviews that came out of Polkfest, you might want to consider a DSW MicroPro sub for 2 channel.

SVS all day, or Epik Valor

Frys.com has PSW1000 on sale for 399 plus shipping.

Any comments on how musical the PSW1000 is compared to the SVS or others?

thanks suprafantx i've called JR and they matched the $399 So i when down and picked it up yesterday and so far sounds good much better bass than my old PSW450.

Great Buy! What color did you get? Is Fry's still selling the PSW1000 for $399? I can't find any PSW1000 listed on Frys.com and JR would honor the price for $399.

Thanks,
James

Welcome to CP James! They are out of stock today, AFIK, and the listing has probably been removed.

It was there earlier today (black only). Hmm. Hopefully J&R would honor the price even if Fry's doesn't show it in stock, which is usually a requirement.

You are welcome. I am glad you catch the deal before it is over.

If anyone else is interested, there are a few PSW1000 on the Polk Direct eBay store at the moment. The BiN price is $600, plus shipping and sales tax, but bids open at $300 ... so if you get lucky, it might still be a good deal.

[mmadden28]

And just so you know, J&R still has them for $499 both colors. ;)

[fish976]

I've picked it up on Sunday in Ebony. I called J&R and showed them Frys was selling it at $399 and they matched it no questions...

At this price i am a very happy camper for now!

Looking at Fry's site, they have it listed again....and at least for my area only $40 for shipping. If I weren't about to jump on my SVS purchase....

Me too, except it looks like I just scored a Rythmik 12" sealed unit on Audiogon. I'm sure this isn't the best Polk sub, with a lower 3dB limit of 30Hz (too high), but still, that's a lot of subwoofer and LSi grade cabinet for $400 (plus tax and/or shipping)! Hopefully somebody will do an honest review of it at some point!

I think it worked out for the best IMO...
