Hi all,
After having a Sony 5.1 'all in one' jobbie for ten years I decided it wasn't enough for what I wanted so I've just splashed out on an Onkyo TX-NR515 receiver and the Jamo S608 HCS3 speaker set.
I haven't set them up properly yet as I'm waiting for new speaker cables for the rear but so far I'm underwhelmed with the bass given that they have 2 x 10" subs in each front floorstander and I'm hoping these will loosen up eventually !
Regardless of that though I would like to add a decent sub to the system now and I really want something loud and low to accommodate both film watching and awesome house parties !
As the amp is 7.2 is was contemplating a £150-£200 budget for now and then maybe add a second higher powered sub later if that price range won't cover me for the house party phase so I was thinking (as many others have) Wharfedale SW150 or BK Gemini 2
However, now I'm wondering whether to go to the £400 max range for a bigger BK or possibly an Acoustic Energy instead ?
So my basic requirements are the need to go really earth shakingly loud (I have horrible neighbours) and not to have to spend the earth if all the extra will do is make it sound audiophile cleaner rather than heavier and louder ! Can someone please point me in the right direction ??
Thanks in advance,
Dan.
