kitski Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hi! I've only recently started my journey into the world of Hi-Fi. Working from home (as a lot of us are) I decided I'd like to upgrade my cheap 2.1 system to something that's nice to listen to, and has a bit of ooomph for when I want it. I have purchased (not delivered yet) - Yamaha WXA-50 amp - PSB Imagine XB speakers The only thing I'm finding hard now to decide on is the amp. I've had my eye on the RSL Speedwoofer 10s, and the Emotive SE8 - but both of them I'd have to ship to Australia (which is fine, but if there were warranty issues it gets pricey). Keen to hear from people for recommendations for a good sub around $700 max, to go under a desk for now (so no 15 inch giants!). I'm looking forward to learning from everyone else - going from a small powered speaker kit to passive and amps has been quite a journey already, but I think I know about 1% of what there is to learn! Cheers, Cath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odb123 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Gday Cath, welcome I had a similar wish, going from a mini hifi system to wanting a system that had a bit of oomph. Perhaps hold off on the sub for the moment and see how your soon to be delivered system will sound first. Have a read around here in the threads that sound like they are beginners wanting a new system or threads where they already have a hifi system but want to upgrade. Both of these will have some interesting info to learn from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitski Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Thank you- that’s great advice! I’ll definitely be reading other similar threads - I’ve got a lot to learn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy8 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 to the forum... Here is a recent thread on small subs Suggest you take your time to get the sub. Plus, with a few more posts, you will have access to the Classifieds and may get a bargain because many people here are after the big ones and tend to ignore the small subs.

kitski Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 Thanks @Snoopy8. I think waiting is a great way to go - especially since decent subs don’t seem to be cheap (though I will def keep an eye on the classifieds also!)
