Hi

What would be the best 50/50 sub for HT and Music with the following system

13x13x10ft High ceilings
Wood floors
CM9/CMC2/CM5
NAD T973 140 wpc and NAD M15HD

Planning to use only 1 sub

For music, you’re MUCH better off with two smaller subs than one larger one and will still work fine for movies. In your system and room I’d take a hard look at a pair of SVS SB1000s that you can get for about $1000 for both and I believe will get you down to an honest 20Hz despite their relatively small size, which will be nice for movies especially. And the new models come with integration software/app that should make setup much better and easier. They offer a very generous and truly risk-free trial period (including shipping) that makes it easy and painless to give them a try. I’d bet big bucks you won’t return them. Best of luck.

Do not only consider the size of the subwoofer. You should consider the power, sensitivity rating, and enclosure type. If you would like the system to play loud, low music, and you also have enough space, then choose the biggest subwoofer possible. Do not underestimate the small subwoofer. I am also using  some models at my Karate uniform store.

I have the same speakers I have a Martin Logan depth i. But I will be trying the supercube 4000 in a week. I will tell you the winner after I try both.
That room will probably be very, very tough for deep bass; smallish and square. Whichever sub you choose, you might want to think about digital room EQ (included with the Velodyne DD series).

Good Luck

There is no definitive "best" of anything. There are way too many variables involved. The "best" you can hope for is to find something that works well in your system. You can then say it's the "best" for you until you find something you think is better !!!!
Without a budget and the word, "best," in your question these AGone links should provide a quick variety of size, price, and features, that may suit your needs. Happy shopping.
