Kck, Actually I may have mis-lead you in first response. I would consider 2 10s in lieu of the 12. The reason is I think that 2 subs would sound better. I have heard in some demo's at different dealers using 2 subs. And I feel that there is a better distribution and representation of the music. I have come to the conclusion that 2 subs interact with each other and the room and somehow tighten up the bass. With the Velodyne setup capabilities in the DD series, you can flatten the curve even more that with one.
If you haven't tried the DD yet and had a chance to play with the setup menu in your room, you should, cuz the demo is what made me order one. And also you mention stereo subs. Actually I would daisy chain them in mono. As far as not trying or buying. No haven't tried it my home yet, only heard them in the dealers showroom. And buying them well that is a good 3000-3500 dollars away. And you also mentioned the capability of the 10 working in my room. I don't know, I never tried it. I know the 15 would be over kill. But I can't give you an honest answer there Kck. I really don't think it would , in my opinion anyway. Really depends on your room you may get by with it. But I'd rather have too much than too little.
