Hi, been lurking around for a few months...I'm now down to these subs. Room is 25 x 36, but home theater will be less than half (game room, office for the other quarters per Wife)..
Budget for sub really needs to be around $800 delivered...
Mainly will listen to music (cds and Dvds) but plan on getting into more DVD movies and kids are getting a Wii for Christmas..
I think choosing between SV(20-39 PC-Plus or PB 12 NSD / Paradigm(DSP 3200) / B & W (ASW 610)
Will buy B & W 684s and 685s with a B & W center HTM 62
Big room=big sub. Doesn't matter how large the listening area is, the ROOM is large. How high is the ceiling?....it isn't ft2 but ft3 that matter. If you can stretch your budget to 1000$, it may be feasible to purchase 2 lesser subs. This has the advantage of putting them in locations to minimize room modes.
