Hi
I have Jamo S 426 HCS 3 WENGE 5 . I am looking for a subwoofer to pair with the 5 speakers
I would prefer amazon.com or GEB keeping the weight in mind .
I am a noob in audio systems so wanted advise
How are these woofers and will they pair fine with the speakers . Subwoofer should be able to drive them correctly
Usage - 90% HD movies with HD player/ HD STB and 10% music flacs
I am ready to wait for a good deal I will subsequently add receiver to the setup or might even add it before the subwoofer depending on available deals


Amazon.com
BIC RTR Series RTR-12S Amazon.com: BIC RTR Series RTR-12S 12-Inch 200-Watt Front-Firing Subwoofer: Electronics
MartinLogan Dynamo 300 Amazon.com: MartinLogan Dynamo 300 Home Theater and Stereo Subwoofer: Electronics
Jamo-SUB-210 Amazon.com: Jamo SUB 210 Subwoofer: Electronics

GEB
Bic F12 BIC
Bic Venturi V1020

Request to grade the best subwoofer for the Jamo or any other which I have missed and will not like to extend my budget above these

Receiver
How is ?
Harman Kardon AVR 1565
or
Onkyo TX-NR509 18k from US

I have a simultaneous Dual band home WIFI network where 2.4 Ghz is for internet and 5 Ghz for HD streaming with gigabit Ethernet . Will like to use networking in receiver if possible . Dont use youtube or HD streaming from internet

Which receiver from these two ? Both are US models
HK AVR 1565 for 21/22k
or
Onkyo TX-NR 515 refurb for 21k
 
Out of your sub models I do not have ezxperiance of any. But avr would be definitely nr515 since you are a movie man
 
Ordered Onkyo TX-NR 515 using ishop . If HK is a better option please tell , can still change the order
Sub also finalized will be taking BIC F12
Will upgrade the speakers after 6 odd months . These came at a real steal price so took them
 
My future/intended setup
HDTV Samsung Plasma/LED in Jan 2013 as know somebody in samsung who is giving me 25% employee discount coupon on dealer price . Pick up from NCR only Budget 50k . Bigger the better .
Recommendations are welcome , options UA46EH5000 ......
Speakers Add 2/3 more channels to Jamo for 7.2 setup . Jamo towers should be okay as are re-branded Energy . So recommendations are welcome for adding 2 more channels
Receiver Ordered Onkyo 515
Sub Woofer Will be buying BIC F12 or comparable
Speaker wire Ordered RCA AH16100SN 100 Ft. 16-Gauge Speaker Wire Amazon.com: RCA AH16100SN 100 Ft. 16-Gauge Speaker Wire: Electronics
HD player already have
Router Already have Simultaneous dual band ddwrt WIFI router with 2 usb ports for HD streaming
STB Already have Airtel HD STB

Purchases will spread out so can improve upon also
Sell out my existing Samsung 5.1 HT setup

Update
Onkyo receiver order was cancelled
Finally purchased Pioneer VSX-1022-K for - 20026
Jamo S 426 HCS 3 WENGE 5 - 7887
RCA AH16100SN 100 Ft. 16-Gauge Speaker Wire - 790
Now only HD TV , subwoofer and 2 more speakers to make it complete 7.1 setup . Will complete the setup by buying every month . TV have set eyes on Samsung 51E550 or 50UT50

The Pioneer VSX-1022-K being a US model is 110v so i will require a stepdown ?
 
@kuduku

Where did you got the Jamo S426 for Rs. 7887/-?
Whether through the eBay GEB or any other way?

Amazon , free shipping . I had some major issues so they waived off the shipping . When i purchased them , they were at lowest ever $107/110 , i dont remember the exact price . But Indian rupee i paid was 7887
 
That was a steal deal like any thing. Even I didn't dare to buy coz of huge shipping costs. You are lucky. :)

I read in amazon review that these are 6 Ohms and the same has to be configured accordingly in the AVR as well.

never knew that , thanks for telling it . So how do i do that in PIONEER VSX-1022-K . I dont have it in my hand at the moment
 
@kuduku, you are one lucky man.

I was eying the Jamo S426 HCS3 to buy through Amazon. When I got a quote of 23K from Ishopinternational, I don't want to purchase it. Since, the same speakers are priced at Rs. 20k in Reliance Digital, its worthless to get it from Amazon. I will be more interested if I can get the speakers at 8K-12K (the same price as you got it).
