Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.

Finally, I have committed to the new home theater system and need sub-woofers. My listening and theater space is about 16' x 14' but then total open space (kitchen in the back) is 16' x 32'. I would like to listen to non-dealer advise. Thank you.

Mcintosh MX160
Mcintosh MC1.2Kw x 2
Mcintosh MC205 x 2
Wilson Audio Alexia - Front Left and Right Speakers
Wilson Audio Mezzo - Center Speaker
Wilson Audio Sophia - Side and Rear Surround Sound Speakers
Origin Acoustic D88 - Atmos Speakers

I like the REL and the JL Audio but JL Audio is my primary choice. The question is 2 x 12" or 2 x 10" or single Dual 12"? The stereo dealer told me 10" would blend in better with music while HT dealer says 12" will have better effect because even my listening space is mall but overall room is large.

Your thought please? I need decision by tomorrow so I can close the final piece. Thank you.

Tim, I know we are.  Wish I could get another set of subs, but I doubt I"ll need to.  :)

Hi ctsooner,

    You know my thoughts but it's, of course, your choice.
     I hope your system sounds great to you no matter which direction you decide upon.

Later,

It will sound awesome.  No doubt.  Hey the Treo's rocked and they weren't even the CT version and had not integrated subs.  No way I'll add any more speakers to the room. Im' trying to get rid of some of the furniture I have built and have in the room, lol.

Of course I will Tim.  I will also set that up with Johnny at Audio Connection to see what it sounds like.
