Hi,
I am looking for a subwoofer. I have small kids, so this has to be a down firing one. This will be used a lot for movies (action, scifi, comedy) and some music too (classic rock, rock and roll, some heavy metal, some indian and western classical, jazz, blues). The sub should not be boomy. It has to be good with movies and music both.
I went through a lot of posts, but still cant decide which one to go for.
My budget is around 35k, with an upper hard limit of 40K.
My existing system is B&W 602 s2 as fronts, LCR600 as center, B&W rock solid 150W for the rears. Yamaha RX-V596 is the avr (might replace with rxv663 or marantz sr5003 in near future). Cheapo Samsung dvd player and HTPC as sources.
The layout of the room is below.
Please advise as to what would be some good subwoofers for this and I will start with the auditioning. Also, while purchasing a subwoofer, should I consider this room to be a 17x14 room or a 34x14 room. Please also give me a rough idea as to what specs I should be looking at for my needs with respect to the driver size, wattage, frequency range etc.
Thanx
