[QUOTE="Vaughan, post: 38781, member: 693"] There is no doubt in my mind that the Whalfdale will lay waste to all your options. It's just simple physics; you're using a bigger box with a larger cone (with a more powerful amp). The other options all have smaller boxes which will require more EQ to reach down lower which in turn will require greater excursions [i]and[/i] more power (which in turn means more [b]heat[/b]) which ultimately leads to more distortion. It also seems to be a hefty sub at over 32 kg's. That tells me that it's cabinet is pretty darn solid which is a good thing. If you were allowed to demo the sub in your room, that would be fantastic but I doubt that will happen. Take a couple of bass intensive movies with you (like Master and Commander, Incredibles, U-571, War of the Worlds etc.) If your priority is movies, then go for the Whalfdale. Within that price range (under R5k) it's the best option you've got by a country mile, in my opinion. Next step is to have a listen. Regards, [/QUOTE]
