Accurate and revealing subwoofer


Hello, new to home audio, I would need some help to spot an accurate / revealing /  dynamic subwoofer under $1500. It would pair a JL audio Dominion D110.

It has to be less powerfull because the room side to fill with is quite difficult with some bass frequency accumulation at the ceiling level. I am applying some room correction though with Roon's DSP engine.

Here is a short list by now:

  • REL HT (1003 ou 1205, yes, I am avoiding passive radiators)
  • M&K V10 or V10+
  • Dynaudio 9s
  • Genelec 7050C

any other sub experimented in this category ? or should I stick to the exact same Dominion?

Context :
- living in Europe
- 30 m2 room (200 inch, L shape)
- Davis Acoustics Courbet 5 speaker (down to 50hz, bright, high and mid ranges detailed)

Thanks.

Why do you want a revealing subwoofer? Your your main speakers should be able to handle lower level bass detail and then the sub fills everything out. Maybe you have tiny subwoofer speakers. No less than 12 inch diameter should be used for a sub.

Subs became popular when the bass quality of Main speakers began to deteriorate in the industry because the driver sizes were reduced. So now people bought subwoofers. Older speakers you’ll notice have larger Drive sizes.
