Dual subs and room size

Hi. I've been considering dual subs with speaker input to pair with my Martin Logan 35xt's and not sure what I should be considering in relation to room size. My room is 17' X 10' with the equip along the long wall. I've been looking at SVS sb1000s and HSU vtf 1/3. The SVS are 12" sealed vs 10" ported hybrid for the HSU. It was suggested that I go with no more than 10".  They will support 100% music. The speakers are pretty much an 9' equidistant triangle set up and would be looking to set the subs on the outer side of the standmounts. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave

I call your youtube clip and present one of several online docs that goes in depth what I was trying to point out clumsily.

I should also add, I wouldn't be such a proponent if I didn't have personal, practical experience with everything I have mentioned. Doing it right is pretty damn awesome, but spend your money however you want to. :)

This subject keeps returning. I think, most agree that two subs are always better. Two good subs.

I don't disagree Inna, but in my personal spaces, 1 was so good I reached a point where I couldn't shell out the cash for the second. :)

Your own mileage and money may vary, and nothing prevents you from buying 1 now, and 1 later.

Best,

Erik, right. Just because something is better doesn't mean that something else cannot be good, it can.
