Honestly I have thought of this same issue. I also have a large basement setup that is 95% two channel and 5% home theater. I have looked at large home theater subs (JTR captivator etc.) online and read up on them but almost no one uses them for two channel. I think they would be just as good for two channel but have no idea. I think there is very little crossover between the crazy custom HT crowd and the highend two channel crowd. I think you should let us know how it works lol.
Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music?
In thinking about subwoofers to get for a large future listening space
(30' x 30'). So far there seems to be a lot of great options for smaller
subs for music.. such as the rel s812. Now my main focus will be music
but I do plan to do some home theater on the system and I do enjoy subs
that reach low and have strong but clear sub-bass. Would a large sealed
sub still be able to provide clean tight bass that digs low and thus
satisfy both duties. Can it ever match the speed and precision of a pair
or more of rel 812s? Something like PSA S7201 or Captivator RS2?
A realize a smaller sub has a smaller moving mass and thus for a given level of power would be faster than a bigger sub with a bigger moving mass (driver mass). But a large sub would have to move less to achieve the same SPL and would reach lower.
Anyhow what do you guys think? Thanks.
