sending an sos to p diddy , dj soo, chino and all speaker heads help what ya think

I’ve heard the 18s with k-array tops and the whole system sounds truly amazing. Haven’t heard the subs with other tops so I don’t know if they are worth the price as the upper frequencies are where k-array is truly on some other level.

that type of gear is way above my pay grade.

that said, I've heard good things about the company - definitely a level up over the prosumer market although you pay for it.

considering the price and performance that will be a no for me.

Please elaborate on the performance!

I mean which other subwoofers is specs in the same class are you comparing with

Which pro consumer subwoofer would you guesstimate the k-rray 18s. Sounded like when you heard ?

Comparisons of just the subs are hard. k-array has a super transparent sound if that makes sense. Not crushingly loud, more close your eyes and it sounds like the sound is coming from inside your head. It’s much nicer than traditional speakers especially for prolonged listing. Still loud, just not harsh. The bass isn’t over blown but solid. It’s really a “system” so no way to guess what the subs sound like outside if that environment without hearing them that way.

All speaker cabinets must obey the laws of physics so in order to achieve big bass you need big speaker cabinets and that 60 pounds this is a very small sub.

The specs of the 18 inch sub are quite comparable to my JBLVRX sub in comparison of SPL, frequency response and power handling. But the fact that it’s k array we know the sound quality will be excellent but you’re not getting much more SPL than a JBLVRX. In my opinion this sub would need to be 6 dB higher in SPL which is the equivalent of 2 JBLVRX subs to being worth the money.
