Sub suggestions..

I've currently got set up 914's, 905, 902's and 903's all hooked to a Denon 1910 amp, however i've yet to purchase a subwoofer. Its for a room that is 13ft x 13ft. I'm constandly looking at the 309, but after looking at some of the BK sub reviews, they sound a lot more tempting. If i was to buy the XXLS400, for instance, would that be heavily overpowering the size of the room? What would you go guys suggest?

Many thanks in advance.

Re: Sub suggestions..

my room is 15ft x 11ft and i've just placed a order for the BK XLS200 so hoping for good things, your 400 suggestion wow if you have room as its a fair bit bigger than the 200 which was my problem or lack of it, then go for it as they say you can always turn a powerful sub down and i cant see you being disappointed by the reviews here on that model.

only my thoughts but the BK 400 is in a different league to a 309 MS, which i think is rated a bit lower than a BK200.
