Hi everyone,
I’ve been a lurker on the forum for quite a few months now and I’ve learned much from all of you. It’s really great to be a part of the community!
I’m running a stereo system with the following setup -
Streamer + PreAmp - NAD M66
Power Amplifier - NAD M23
Speakers - B&W PM1s
I want to buy a pair of subwoofers which I plan to integrate using DLBC. I’ve currently shortlisted the REL T9x, the KEF KC92 and perhaps the REL S510 (if I can get 2).
I primarily use the system to listen to music. I do use it to watch TV but it’s not often. My room is about 20 feet x 15 feet x 12 feet (ceiling), and it’s a bedroom with all the typical furnishings - bed, cupboards, desk and side tables.
I’ve tried using a PSB sub before, but I had to return it because of the terrible rattling in my room’s false ceiling. I’m going to try and reduce it with foam tape on the ceiling light fixtures and with the SVS sound path isolation system.
I must add that I used a B&W ASW10CM subwoofer for many years without the rattling being particularly bad (it was low enough to be ignored). It used to sit under my TV cabinet on a wooden floor.
But when I got the PSB and moved it to the side of the cabinet (on marble flooring), the rattling was so bad that I returned the sub. Now, one year later, I’ve got the itch again and I wanted to ask if anyone here’s found a solution.
Have any of you tried these subwoofers? Have you faced similar problems with your false ceilings? What would you do?
