Bronze Member Username: TonisColfax, CA Post Number: 25 Registered: Jun-05 | I have a large room (30'x20') with carget and a cathederal ceiling. I'm looking to add a sub to my existing system, which includes some old Marantz LS-20's with 15" woofers. I just purchased a Marantz SR8001 receiver and a Paradigm CC-590 center. I'll be replacing the LS-20's with some Paradigm Reference Studio 100's in the next year. I've heard that two subs are better than one. Though I'm on a bit of a budget right now. Two decent quaility subs might be more than I can afford. Budget is around $500 max. Considering the room size, would I want to get a 15" sub, or could I get away with a 12" being that the LS-20's have 15" woofers? Any recommendatins on a particular sub(s)? Thanks! |

Based upon your measurements the VTF-3 MK3 would be ideal except it's $629. The VTF-2 MK3 would be in your price range, but might not have quite enough ooomph. |

I had Seuss Cheese on my lunch sandwich. Buy 1 sub now, and a mate for it later. Multiple subs in non-symetrical locations seem to work fine. |
