ED A3S-250 vs Ultra Sub 10

[mperritano]

Looking for nice small sub good for two channel only and these compare "on paper" very close. Same price, same driver size, both sealed, close in size, power pretty close, etc... Curious if any members have any experience w/ED and thoughts on Emos Ultra 10. Thanks in advance.

The Emotiva comes with a 5-year warranty and can be evaluated for 30 days and returned for a refund within 30 days. You can't easily find what the warranty is for eD subwoofer or if an evaluation/return is possible. The Emotiva sub is slightly smaller as well. That said, if the A3S-250 is anything like the A5s-300 it is a heck of a subwoofer. I've been toying with purchasing the A3S-250 myself (maybe two), but am likely to go with a Rythmik F12G as its servo implementation is better suited for matching with planar/QR speakers.

I just sold my home and with it two (2) Rythmik F15 I used in a custom theater set-up. I had in there a 100" Stewart screen along w/1080p Epson pj. I left it all behind as enticement to shed my home. But I digress. Interesting about no warranty/return program w/ED. I'll have to do a little more research. Thanks for the input.

eD's policy is similar to many other ID companies.
5 year warranty on the Driver and Enclosure from manufacturing defects, 1 year on the amplifier. You also have 30 days from arrival, for in home trial, and if you choose to return it, then you have to pay the shipping costs to return the item, and you will get a refund.

The ED is bigger, which is a negative for me in an office setting:

14.25" H 14.25" W 14.25" D
