I have a similar sized room, good amp, (ATI) and Fritz carbon 7SE speakers, I use a SVS SB 3000 sub, and it is great. (loud Rock and Roll) Nice feature that is to die for, You can make all adjustments using Bluetooth from your chair, thus eliminating getting up and down constantly, worth the extra money, and one sub is plenty!!!
Subwoofer for music only ?
I'm looking to install a subwoofer in my bedroom system, The room size is 13' x 13'. I'm looking at the SVS 1000 Pro, the REL 1205 or the Golden Ear Forcefield 3. or I can use one of these in my HT set-up and move my SVS 2000 into my 2 channel stereo set up. My bedroom set-up consist of a Micro Mega M-100 with AE-509's, just looking to add a little low-end. Any thoughts on which may be a good match?

Thanks for all the input, it's appreciated. I ended up ordering an open box SVS 3000 Micro. Waiting for it to come in. I checked out the Arendal ( little big for my space ) and the KEF KC62, I like the KEF but with the SVS app I can easily make adjustments if the subwoofer is under the foot of the bed like my last one. ( can't access control panel ) and having the side woofer configuration it will work for my set-up. |
For a room that size you could not do better than an REL T/7x, Even the T/5x would perform spectacularly for virtually any type of music you like to listen to. You will also discover there is no concern regarding matching with virtually any brand of satellite. speakers you own If you are not familiar with these spectacular subs, I suggest checking out their website and even discuss you needs with a factory specialist. This is one audio product you would not likely trade for anything else. REL is also a wonderful company to help with optimizing your setup, which is surprisingly simple. The price/performance ratio is pretty much off the charts AXPERT

@pennfootball71 - Isn't that expected or is there a specific reason that you think that a T7 is superior to the T5 for the OPs situation? |
@elliottbnewcombjr - Can you explain more about bass becoming directional due to overtones as it relates to subwoofers? I'm sure that there's some disagreement over the frequency where sound is no longer directional, but for the sake of discussion let's say that it's 80 hz. If the low pass filter is set to 80 hz, then any overtones that are above that frequency would only be heard through the main speakers maintaining the directional aspect of the sound. This is why it's so important for a subwoofer to blend seamlessly into the main speakers. |
