Hi,

For that size of room check Rythmik L12 or LV12F which is very tight bass & fast response. u need to increase ur budget ,
at ur budget subs like Polk HTS12 or BIC PL200Ii is what i feel good.

The Stage 120p is good if you listen to music, but not enough to enjoy movies. Under 50k you have lots of options. I myself bought the Pl 200 II a couple of weeks back , which is now available on Hifimart as well. Sounds really good and for your dimensions it will be really good.

I too have the JBL stage collection for my home theater . Wanted to get the stage subwoofer so that it would finish up being a nice collection from the same brand, but I went through a lot of threads on subwoofer requirements especially in my case, subs that go fairly low enough for movies. So far I'm impressed with the way it handles for bothering music and movies.

Pl 200ii how much low frequency it can get?

Pl 200ii how much low frequency it can get?

BIC's listed low frequency is at 21hz. But it all depends on the sub's placement and room acoustics.

My room is actually quite smaller than the dimensions of yours, and I feel that this is overkill for my room but glad I made the decision. The bass is really tight and not boomy as most other subs at the sub 30 ~35 k range.

I got it for 40k at jamsticks. I was mentioning how it compares to the stage A100/120 which are in the 35k category.

Low frequency extension is achieved at the expense of transient response, clarity and Max spl capability.
So the JBL 120p is a great option!!
As they aren't achieving low frequency extension at the expense of SPL.
Look no further.
