Stereophile is terrific at spending OPM (Other Peoples Money!) Not to say the more $$ are not worth it, but for most people, spending 3000$+ on a sub is not in the cards. Other subs within the price limit are 'doable'. From HSU Research? SVS? And several other 'prime' manufacturers. Other factors, not discussed can make a difference. When I went shopping many years ago, I could have bought either one sub near my maximum price OR a pair of lesser subs. Big SQUARE room might call for a different solution than the same cubic feet of room, as some kind of rectangular space. In the case of the OP? A pair of HSU Research VTF2mk5 will rock your world. Cut / Paste for link. But that's just ONE choice of many. http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/vtf-2mk5.html Even my odd shaped room (8 sides, asymmetrical peaked ceiling) worked well with a single sub. After some experiment. The first place I put it, in the Left corner, resulted in too much 'gain' and some 'boom', especially in the room next to the LR, the den, which was like being in a 55 gallon drum with somebody beating on it. Relocating the sub to the RIGHT side, not corner loaded, was IT. Bass instantly became more musical without lacking extension or definition. PERSONALLY? I'd skip the 'boom' and go for musical. With my setup, when the Dinosaur walks in Jurassic park, stuff on the walls moves. Nice. |
