    At this price range, SVS would be the go to to be honest.

      Hell yeah. I've got 2x PB-1000 Pro and they rock.

      At full retail price i'd agree but at $850 off it sits in the SB-1000 ($999 - $1133) range which I wouldn't say is as good as the ML

        People that go off RRP for electronics is pretty laughable let alone falling for the "massive" discount would love to see what is usually sells for not this RRP bs

        You sure your not associated ??

        $1449 they usually go for https://www.premierhifi.com.au/product-catalogue/martin-loga… and their RRP is $1549 so take it with a grain of salt..

        • PJFear on 11/05/2022 - 11:43

          Not associated at all. Never heard of the store until I went looking for a sub…

          I'm in Perth and the main Hifi store here is West Coast Hifi who also sells the ML at $1749. Although WCH do price match I believe they won't as this is a clearance item.
          $899 ( 2% less with direct deposit) against $1449 is still fairly decent though.

      I'd agree (have 2 SVS myself) but the SVS seem to have moved up a bit in price in recent times.

    Frequency Response

    24–200 Hz ±3 dB

      Anechoic with LFE if that helps

      • Pixie13 on 10/05/2022 - 18:04

        What does that mean?

        • terrys on 10/05/2022 - 18:12

          The box itself doesn't rattle too much? It's Greek to me.

        • Lps on 10/05/2022 - 18:57

          What does that mean?

          Means frequency response was measured in an anechoic (non sound reflective) environment so is accurate. The lowest frequency is extended (Low Frequency Extension or LFE) so response is highly unlikely to be flat from that point which for many won't matter but it might for some.

          • Pixie13 on 10/05/2022 - 19:34

            @Lps: I had to read that a few times, but that does make sense. Thank you.

          • [Deactivated] on 10/05/2022 - 19:58

            @Lps: Cool, that was new to me, thanks.

          • revheadgl on 10/05/2022 - 20:13

            @Lps: LFE stands for low frequency effects. When they state LFE mode in the specs, they mean in LFE mode as in single input rather than stereo mode, whereby you use the left and right inputs.

            • Pixie13 on 10/05/2022 - 23:18

              @revheadgl: Why would you have left and right for a sub? Not questioning your answer, just wondering about the use case.

              • revheadgl on 11/05/2022 - 09:09

                @Pixie13: I will try and explain it best as I can.

                The majority of today's AV receivers have a filtered sub out, called LFE which is mono. By which all the low frequency effects are output and the crossover point is set in the receiver settings.

                When plugged into the LFE input on the sub, it bypasses the sub's internal filter. This is the most common way of connection.

                Some receivers/stereo amplifiers, pre-amp's etc do not have an internal filter and simply have a left and right pre out and ouput the full frequency range.

                When you connect this way, you connect from the left/right pre out to the left/right input into the sub and use the sub's controls to set your crossover point.

                Not all, but most subs have these options for inputs. There are also subwoofers that have speaker level inputs, by which yo can hook up a sub to amplifiers/recevers that have no sub out or pre-outs.

                This is just a simplified explanation and the best way I can explain with my simplified brain, lol. For a better understanding I would suggest having a look at the instructions for whatecer subwoofer you might be thinking of purchasing.

                I hope this helps. Cheers.

                  @revheadgl: Fantastic information. Thank you. I can confirm my sub is using that. Is there any use case where you wouldn't use LFE if it is available to you?

                  • revheadgl on 11/05/2022 - 10:52

                    @Pixie13: No worries, glad it was helpful.

                    Personally, I always use the LFE output where available. My main use is movies and tv and LFE is there for a reason, to hand off all the lower frequencies to the sub.

                    Athough,for music in particular, there are some purists that will say it is better to run your speakers full range and adjust the sub to blend in.
                    I do I have one system set up like that as I have no sub out on that one so no choice there.

                    As I said, just my preferences.

    Eastwood HiFi are also doing 50% off deals on Martin Logan subs albeit the much higher priced BalancedForce range so likeley the distributor has come to the party and deals may be found elsewhere.
