I concluded that the minimonitors-plus-sub combo delivered bass that was deeper, more robust, and better controlled than the Navis floorstanders on their own.Īt the end of that experiment, I briefly tried combining the SVS sub with my ARF-51s and really liked what I heard: the bass went lower, and the overall sound was bigger, with greater finesse higher in the audioband. Then, a year ago, I conducted a little experiment: I compared the sound of my ARF-51s with that of a pair of Elac Navis ARB-51 active stand-mounts ($2299.98/pair) mated to an SVS PB-2000 Pro subwoofer ($899.99). Those active floorstanders delivered deeper bass and more slam than the active stand-mounted speakers I was using at the time, and I enjoyed them so much I bought the review samples.
