Best Small Sub


I have been working on building a setup for 50/50 music to HT. I am only running a 5.1 system. I have Dynaudio Audience 52s (LCR) and 42s (SLSR). I have a Halo A52 to power all the speakers. Currently I am using a Denon 3805 as a pre/probut will be upgrading that later on. I want to buy a sub next but it needs to be a small footprint. I dont really have any room in my 15X17 room with 15 foot ceilings. My seating arrangment has the LCR and TV 8 feet in front so it is very overpowering. I know it would be best if I used a large sub but would rather start with one small then buy another later on if i can make room. Can you offer any help of subs that would really sound great and mesh well with my system? I was looking at a sunfire and velodyne SPL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Y'all,

You might want to take a look at MJ Acoustic. For your needs I would recommend either the Reference 100 or the 150 Mk II. The sub I have is the Ref 150 Mk II. They have a small footprint, 12" x 12", have wonderful looking finishes at no extra cost and sound great. The best part of all is they hook up just like the Rel line of subs, meaning they use both a low and high level input that you can hook up simultaneously. They use a nutrik connector cable, also like the Rel line, for the high level input that hooks directly to your amp for seamless integration in a music system. It also packs incredible impact in HT for such a small box. I've only had mine in my system for less then a week but, so far, they sound great straight out of the box. Oh, I almost forgot all three of these subs also go down to 13 Hz. Yes, I said 13 Hz. I would not have believed it but I've heard it in my system. I have my HT/music system in a 15' x 18' room with my system set on the short wall with 8' ceilings but the back of the room is open to the rest of the house. Good luck with your search and keep us posted........John
