Subwoofer for music only ?


I'm looking to install a subwoofer in my bedroom system, The room size is 13' x 13'. I'm looking at the SVS 1000 Pro, the REL 1205 or the Golden Ear Forcefield 3. or I can use one of these in my HT set-up and move my SVS 2000 into my 2 channel stereo set up. My bedroom set-up consist of a Micro Mega M-100 with AE-509's, just looking to add a little low-end. Any thoughts on which may be a good match?

You are in a small cluttered box. You cannot produce sound waves that can expand much and therefore all that owned is unfulfilled and distorted.  You actually degrade your sound as you get lower in a room like yours, so if you’re going with a sub because you buy into this,set your blend at 120hz. The point is to ease the requirements of your woofers.  You’re much better with a good set of stereo speakers that get good extension. The main point of a subwoofer is low end support not extension. Do you really need your room to shake when the tyranausorous rex walks across your tiny screen in your bedroom? It’s pure distortion. Lastly, watching tv or reading in bed is flat out disruptive to sleep. That’s a well-documented fact based on numerous studies.
