Has anyone compared the PSW505 to the BIC PL-200? Trying to decide on either of these two subs.

I have the PSW505 and I love it, watching movies you actually feel like the room is shaking. I would advise taking the PSW505, now that being said, I have not heard or had the PL-200. Hope this helps.

Sorry can't say anything about the BIC. But the sound from the polk sure sounds great. And was a snap to set up.I replaced my harmam kardon sub that the amp went out. Ts7 subwoofer. Hope thid helps tim.

Both look very similar. I have not heard the PL-200 so I cannot speak to it, however, spec-wise seems like it would be sound close to the same as the PSW505. One feature on the PSW505 that I really like it the auto-shutoff and startup. I (more my wife) don't have to worry about turning the sub off and on when I turn on the receiever. I have my PSW505 in a normal sized living room and it sounds great and if I were to buy again, I would buy the same. Hopefully that helps.

7000 is supposed to deliver better lows, the better option is the 5000s with a sub. Even with the 7000s i would still use a sub, so there is no benefit for the extra price.

I bought the Lyr and Bifrost by SchiitJust sent the Bifrost in for an overhaul - new boards (UBER) and getting new tubes for the LyrFor under $1k I don't think you can do better - Just got the wife a Valhalla for her HD650s - even SHE likes it <g>

More gray, I thought about taking it in to get spray painted but since it was free can't really complain. Probably will sell it soon, looking at BIC F12, or Polk PSW 505 around Black Friday. I have this connected to my PC, purchased Polk Audio PSW110 which sounds much better for my home theater system. If PSW110 and BIC V1020 are the same price go with Polk.

I really like my alpine PDX-V9. It'll also power at least one sub. One of the most advanced amps out there

Boss is very great! I have one so do my brothers and none of us have ever had any problems with them. And they can handle a good amount of watts. I have two 2100 max subs and they sound great. And boss is pretty cheap.

The 580 has almost double the power, a larger cabinet for better bass and is more money. For $50.00 I'd go with the larger. I have the 575 (no longer made) same cabinet, more power and no digital outputs. Had it 4 years, everyday use and never a problem. I turn mine off when I turn the TV off. For most people it has plenty of bass and there are controls to turn it up or down. I did buy a 555 for my cousin and he's happy with it but hearing it I'd keep mine any day.

If you think the bass on the DV 64's is good, you're gonna be in for a huge surprise if you get the PL-89's. I have them in my room, and even at full blast the 8" woofers are still able to keep booming along with everything else. Also the quality of the sound is more clear than any other speaker I've heard within the $1000 range. There's a reason they're $500 more expensive than the DV 64's. To get even more boom, I bought a Bic America f-12 (which I seriously recommend you do). It is a great 12" subwoofer and produces more bass than any other $200 sub on the market. (seriously, $200 is a steal for how good this thing is). You may need to upgrade your amp to get the full potential out of these though, as they require a large amount of power to play at near full volume.

I did a lot of research on these. The LP are heavily discounted from the V-Moda MSRP. Definitely best bang for your buck. The LP2's have slightly more enhanced base according to V-Moda, but trust me the LP is already base-heavy.

Go with the Micca MB42x series and you will be much happier. I got these Dayton's a month or so ago and quality was terrible. Much happier With my Miccas.

I've worn both of these actually. And I've found the M50X's to be amazingly good for the price. They're extremely comfortable, and they're a good choice overall. Nonetheless, the P5's get the edge. The sound is neutral on both of them, but the P5's sound is a bit more nuanced, and true to the source material. (And if you're looking for something with thumping bass, neither of these are your friend - I'd look at beats for that). The P5's are also much more "luxurious". The padding, the presentation, and the details - everything is a step up, albeit at a heftier price tag. I would definitely recommend trying both out at a store if you can - it's a close one.

The BIC is 100 w and the Polk is 50 w,both are well reviewed so i would guess for a small room the Polk should be sufficient.I use my BIC in a large room and it is borderline enough. I run it 6-7 in a room15'x25'.

I own the Polk T15 and BIC America DV62si speakers. The BIC speakers are bigger, heavier and have wider frequency response/higher sensitivity than the Polk T15's. I would recommend the BIC speakers over the Polks. I've seen the Polks on sale for for around fifty dollars, but have never seen a new pair of BIC America DV62si's offered for less than a hundred.I would also consider Micca's MB42 speakers. They sound similar to the Polk T15, but cost less.

Can't compare it to the 180 as I never had it. I like the RS 220. Beautiful sound, volume range fine, very rarely drops signal. Really brings out the depth in my vinyl, as well as adding something to digital music.

I love mine, but I am not a Klispch fan at all. I also have a 12 in sub. They compliment each other very well. Happy listener!

I've compared them and they sound similar. The HP50 has better deep sub bass extension, but the PSB M4U1 has a smoother sounding midrange. Treble is shinier on the HP50 and softer on the M4U1. I'd say it's a tossup. Both headphones sound terrific, but look geeky for wearing out and about. The HP50 has just about the oddest looking headband ever, and the PSBs are just big and bulky.

Not sure it you have purchased the product already. Wanted to replay as the 500s are on 'Today's deal' and the difference is 30 now. hope you get email for this reply. I compared both the system when I bought them year ago and chose 500. The difference was not 200 for me in a local electronics store. If you listen to lot of music, I guess the difference is justified.
