How did you decide between the sealed vs ported sub on the SB2000?The main reason was you were only looking for one sub so thought space may be a consideration and two SBs are a lot smaller than two PBs while still getting you under 20Hz (-3dB). The other is I tend to prefer using a sealed sub for music, but I understand properly-designed ported subs can work as well. Last, I own an SB2000 I use for HT and it alone can shake my living room when required so two PB2000s seems almost like overkill for music purposes. So that’s where I was coming from with my recommendation.
Subwoofer Recommendations
I am looking for a single subwoofer that will compliment my JBL L100 Classic speakers. This is my office system and I only want 1 subwoofer (no swarm) to add a little oomph below 50hz. I will be using it with my McIntosh MA6600 on the second set of variable line outs. The sub has to accept line in, have a phase control, level control and adjustable crossover so I can cross it over under 80hz or so. I will be still running my JBL speakers full range. Price is up to $1500.00 new or used although keeping it at around a grand would be great. This is the only way I will hook up the sub and I would like something that does go deep. I know there are probably hundreds of subwoofer threads but I have never looked at them. This is just something I came up with today so any help would be appreciated.
