Small, Effective Subwoofers?


In a recent speaker thread that I started there were lots of suggestions of adding a couple of subwoofers to my system. As with my speakers (Legacy Signature SEs) I have little room to place subwoofers They will need to go directly to the left or directly to the right of the main speakers. To the left the maximum height would be 12". 12’ would be great on the outside as well, but I could squeeze a slightly bigger unit in there. Would two 12" subs be sufficient here, or would they be too small for this set up?

If 12’ is OK, do you all have any reasonably priced suggestions as did @nevada_matt withe his 2-10 offering from Tekton. I would have never found those on my own, thanks Matt!

I would be super open to some used subs as a cost savings measure here.

I'll give thumbs up to Bowers and Wilkins DB4S.

It goes down to less than 10Hz and therefore is also excellent for Home Theater Systems.

Another Velodyne MiniVee user here. Use with my Freya+, Akitika, and Proac Tablette 10. Works great in my small listening room. Just what I need to fill in the bottom end without overwhelming everything.

@pedroeb - Thx Pedro, only 2 - channels here, but the B&W looks good!

@narrowfellow - My room is kinda big though. Sounds like a great fir for you though!

SVS has a variety of subwoofer sizes and shapes. You might want to try them. I have an SB 300. I’m in a small room is completely controllable using my iPhone. Quite amazing how you can shape the impedance.
