I use a miniDSP HD for my sub, works great and integrated with OmniMic fantastically. Also work very well with Room EQ Wizard. The usual issues are users trying to EQ for flat instead of a descending (1-1.5 db/octave) slope, and complaining it sounds flat. :) Any receiver with Audyssey or DiracLive should do about the same.

I think for the size room you have a pair of really good Peerless sandwich cone 8 inchers would be good, I used them in my hybrid electrostatic cabinets ad they were wonderful I had the 10" version with my B&Ws (in NHT Sw2Si cabinets and some extra bracing and stuffing, for years but recently found really rare B&W DM 16 woofers. These used the early 801 magnets, frames, and coils, but are 11 rather than 12 inches. |
Nobody mentioned sunfire or vanderstein . I have had alot of subs over the years( rel ,velodyne.sunfire,JL audio jbl and vandys never had a hsu personally, no opinion there ). I believe treament is a huge part of a room operating properly.I currently run one sub in my audio room ,2 in my ht room .If i was doing it again personnally i would rather have two 10" or even 8" then one 12" .But thats a whole new debate .lol good luck .. |
One vote for JL Audio Fathom. Continuous phase adjustment and auto EQ. Crucial to get it time aligned with mains. http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/subwoofer-basics/?page=3 Otherwise, doesn't matter what make it is, it won't sound great. It is a shame how few sub setups are properly integrated. |
