I decided to wait a little longer on the 4K Projector. But man my current projector while rocking for it's time, is dated as hell.
I did get the PB16-Ultra in the other day, upgraded from the PB13-Ultra since I could do a tradein for a huge discount for trade-up. This sub is absolutely insane. I thought the PB13-Ultra couldn't be topped but this thing. fuck.
Disgaea 5 added for scale.

I knew someone would comment on that lol.
I was testing music with a lossless version of this which is actually a fantastic track to test with. It actually defaults out of the box at -10. Probably to prevent window breakage. Another good one is this one for dat bass.

Whats the difference between the ported and sealed? I'm pretty much getting the pb16 ultra but the ported is 500 dollars more and just wondering if it's worth 500 dollars extra. I know the ported goes a little lower in response but they both have the same power.

Any recommendations on a 2.1 Soundbar setup? The Klipsch offerings all seem to do pretty well, I had my eye on this one:
Amazon.com: Klipsch Reference RSB-14 Powered sound bar and wireless music player with wireless sub: Electronics
but then I'm thinking is it sensible to spend almost a grand on a soundbar and subwoofer?

Sensible isn't really what this thread is about. Aladain bought a $5,000 subwoofer!

cool thanks man. I'm 95% movies and video games with 5% music so closed it is.To me, music sounds much better ported. But movies sound better open. I generally don't go into the "technical" aspects of it all, just what I like hearing better.
I've been spending a lot of time looking at sound bars and reasonably priced stereo equipment lately as well. I listened to that Klipsch sound bar as well as most of the other highly rated ones. Basically by the time a soundbar doesn't sound like shit compared to mediocre speakers, you're spending a lot more money and you're stuck with just a sound bar. It's better to get a 2.x setup and a receiver if you're going to spend $1k. Sound bars are good if you don't have any room though.

Ported give your amp the ability to go to a lot lower frequencies, sealed is often considered "tighter" sounding. Rule of thumb is ported for movies, sealed for music.
Also, SVS is not even close to being best bang for your buck anymore.
Check out these guys. Subwoofers
The V1801 should perform about as well as the PB16 at a fraction of the cost. Chat up the owner, Tom V, on their website and he'll steer you right. He left SVS to start up PSA years ago and was the "V" in SVS. Also JTR sound makes some good subs that will blow the doors off a PB16.

For movies you want to go vented/ported for sure. They work a lot better for the low frequencies you get from explosions and what not in movies that you feel as much as hear.

that looks like an abomination. is there really any benefit of having 2 subwoofers when they are 3 feet apart?

LOL, are you watching TV or throwing raves at your home?
Obviously you aren't into the "minimalist" look, but imho that's a fugly setup.. Dump a sub, and stick teh remaining sub into a discreet corner of the room.
