Subwoofer to mate with Casta model C's.......

I have Casta Acoustic model C's with a 15" woofer, 17" custom horn midrange and 2" custom horn tweeter in each floorstanding speaker. The speakers are a sealed cabinet and are very efficient. My room now is 13 x 19 x 8 but soon will be 20 x 24 x 8 after renovations. I had previously owned an SVS PB13 ultra before purchasing the Castas but sold it knowing I wanted two in the larger room. The svs was a phenomenal performer. Can anyone give any recommendations on one or two subwoofers adequate to mate with the Castas and given room sizes. Budget is not an issue. THX in advance......

I just know the subwoofer wasn't accurate. The timing wasn't the same from what I heard with the Casta's. I have good equipment running in my system and I know what it wasn't.

Thx Bob. I am waiting to speak with Danleysound to look into a DTS-10 to mate with my Casta C's. If the price suits my budget I will go with them. If not I think two SVS SB13 ultras may be the next trial-as they have a 45 day trial.

I've been researching, anyone try(have) a Revel B15(A)? I think this is the sub for me. The hookup is the way I need to run with my fast drivers in my Casta's. Hoping I can find one.

Barcardi,

The Revel B15 is a wonderful subwoofer. Fast, punchy, "accurate", as well as deep(17ish Hz with boundry gain). I am using mine with an SVS SB13 Plus(95% same as SB13U) and they mate up very well. Though a bit primitive with today's digital EQ software, the B15's 3-band parametric EQ works pretty darn well with integrating your mains with your sub. Very hard to find under $1000.00 on the used market but not impossible.

I also would not hesitate to suggest a pair of SB13U's if the B15 seems too difficult to obtain.
