Congratulations, your on the right track. The benefits of the new generation SVS subwoofers are that they include built in EQ/DSP. This allows for more individual bass EQ no matter where you place them. To get the most benefits, you need a way to ... 
In general, how does price relate to quality?

It is called “Moon” because it is a special edition series from Cary Audio. I don’t see any reason not to buy it if it is something you like. Price looks good and specs are good as well.

@whart , Got it. Look for my reply in a little while. Would love to share feedback about the T1.5's. Ciao, Audioquest4life  
Stone fireplace wall effects on acoustics?
@millercarbon +1,Agree with the above recommendations. Distance from side and rear walls makes a huge distance in how the speaker will depict sounds, from bass through the entire frequency spectrum. I am a naturalist when it comes to to my room an...

Subwoofers with room correction built in?
