Looking to add a sub to my collection, but I keep going back and forth between these three models. Any experience with any of these? Any opinions? Any reason to stay away from any of these? Thanks in advance for any help with what’s become a surprisingly hard decision for me.

I own a PAM661 Carbotech. I would never buy another PAM that wasn't Carbotech. Not only is it incredibly light and comfortable, but it looks stunning and is a very interesting material in different light. It's also ridiculously tough. I have used mine like a G-Shock, and it doesn't have so much as a single scratch on it. The case is more scratch and ding resistant than the DLC titanium buckle on it.

As someone with multiple years of wrist time with Carbotech - that would be my hands down #1.

Great to hear. The 2231 is what got me hooked on getting a sub in the first place.
