Temblor T10 : Best in price class

I have to revert my initial review enthusiasm.

First one I got came dead. Now the second one died. Although materials seem to be good something is wrong.

I took a gamble. I have order it without hearing it ever. Also all of my testing with subs and my monitors (Yamaha HS7) where done at the local store and not at my place. So it is all just about how I remember it sounding and not side by side testing.

Pro's:

Features for it's price bracket

Enough power

Solid build quality

Negatives:

Came dead first time and now after 21 months of use at low power and not many hours per day second sub is dead. Not a Fuse issue either. First it did not want to switch between monitors only and complete system and now does not want to turn on at all.

Bit harder to set up

Seems to add few dB amplification on monitor outputs

filter for monitors is fixed 80Hz

You do not want to see a box it comes in. Also marketing is a miss. It is not meant to bump and Over Power rest of your system.

If your monitors are at 0 dB it is easier to adjust it. Soon as you change monitor levels it is hard to find a sweet spot again. Pot's for gain and filter value are not easiest but not so bad as some reviews make it look.

It add's 3D-ness to a sound. It goes deep but nowhere as deep as marketed. At least not with a flat response or usable level. Some 8" 2 way monitors will sound as deep but will not feel same.

Break the sub in. Never put to much gain. It will just peak and and sound bad actually.

To really have a better sounding Sub with comparable features you need to go 2-3x more money.

So it is not a best sub ever but in a price range it is serious contender.

I love option to be able to bypass sub totally. You can check a mix for unwanted sub frequency drone. You can set up bass to sound good and deep on monitors without over-boosting deepest octaves for nothing. Or you can mix music with deepest usable octaves knowing that you are hearing them correctly. So some songs sound almost a same with or without it accept it gives it 3rd dimension. Others sound Epic.

Do not adjust gain to far. It might sound "better" to listen to but will not represent final product correctly.

I love it. Combination Yamaha HS7 and T10 is just perfect for me.
