subwoofer 19 by 18 room

I am building a 5.1 home theatre
have an Arcam 350 on the way and am using B&W Matrix twos, center and 301's in the rear

I've a bit stumped on subwoofer
everything I demo is too loud, rolled wrong and it sounds like a booming box

Definitive, B&W, Martin Logan didn't excite me
Paradign sounded okay, heard stay away from Velodyne (but I was impressed with them 20 years ago)

any suggestions for a single unit subwoofer?
probably need some eq in my near square room

I may even have Jim Salk build me something

ps I have a two channel room where I do my serious listening to music

I'm going to get a JL Audio F113
anyone heard tghe F110?

should be more than enough low end

second sub maybe a year down the road
vx700
could you describe how adding the second one worked in your setting

can't quite spring for 2 right now

cheers

thanks for all the insights

I talked to a friend who does home theatre and he says the JL Audio has been a dream sub to put in a system

looks like I'm leaning that way

two F110's or 1 F113?

one can always tact if the room doesn't work

honestly the singal from my two front channels will mostly be absorbed by the couch

open ended on three corners I doubt the room modes will be that severe
(other than maybe the low one that the JL Audio sub can kill)
More to discover
