12 inch subwoofer overkill for desktop setup?


So, I plan to get a new subwoofer for my next upgrade.

Currently using Cabasse Riga with Cabasse Santorin 21 for my desktop near field setup in a 12x10 feet sized room. Since the price of 12 inch Santorin 30-500 is attractive now I plan to get that because it is meant to synergize together with the Riga. There is unfortunately no demo set of the Santorin 30-500 available in my city so I will not be able test it.

My concern is will it be too much for my setup? Or should I just stick with my current sub? Anyone here uses 12-nch sub in near field setup?

Do you notice your subwoofer slightly from your speakers?

If so, this is were big_greg's adjustment suggestion may be able to help. Since your room is not the same as the manufacturers their recommendations should be considered as a staring point or reference.

I'd begin with playing something with a prominent bass drum then switching the phase. One setting should sound slightly louder or tighter to the accompanying music.
