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?

@pennfootball71 - Isn't that expected or is there a specific reason that you think that a T7 is superior to the T5 for the OPs situation?

@elliottbnewcombjr - Can you explain more about bass becoming directional due to overtones as it relates to subwoofers?  I'm sure that there's some disagreement over the frequency where sound is no longer directional, but for the sake of discussion let's say that it's 80 hz.  If the low pass filter is set to 80 hz, then any overtones that are above that frequency would only be heard through the main speakers maintaining the directional aspect of the sound.  This is why it's so important for a subwoofer to blend seamlessly into the main speakers.

@mceljo Perceptively, a single sub is localizable even at 80 hz. Typically, you won't localize anything up to 120ish hz with 2 subs on the front stage. You may not localize anything with 4 subs probably even up to 150ish hz( 2 on front stage, 2 along side walls, etc depending on room layout).... Perceptively (you may need to experiment with it)...the more the number of subs, the higher up in crossover you could 'get away' with.....

@mceljo it has a bigger nicer cabinet and a 10 inch passive radiator instead of an 8 inch passive radiator so it can dig lower and harder

@rbull11   "but with the SVS app I can easily make adjustments if the subwoofer is under the foot of the bed like my last one. ( can't access control panel ) and having the side woofer configuration it will work for my set-up."

No experience with SVS. Folks have mentioned good phone, warrantee, and satisfaction support. Seems like a smart choice.

Included affordable remote functional or application access has been available on subwoofer for almost two decades. Maybe just a bit to controversial or complicated for todays off the shelf designers. All the best with it
