Hi
I have just moved house and have finally been able to set up my speakers in a square on configuration as opposed to in the corner of the room. I was also looking forward to being able to plug my sub (yamaha yst-150) back in as it is a detached house. When I plugged it in, power only no signal, it makes farting and rumbling sounds continuously, unaffected by xover, volume, phase etc settings. I've opened it up to see if there was anything obviously wrong that could have happened in transit but can't see anything. So, I am now in the market for a new sub.
My other speakers are a bit mix'n'match but I am quite enjoying having 5.0 now as opposed to 3.0 for the last few years. Fronts are mission 701s and an Eltax Centre HT2, rears are eltax bipolar HT2s. My room is 7m x 3.6m total but it is a combined living/dining room, the listening area is about 4m x 3.6m. Is it the total volume of the room that needs taking into consideration or just the listening area?
Would a 309 be sufficient for my setup or would I be disappointed and be better saving for a larger sub?
I have read all the threads on the gemini the 309i and a few others. I have come to the conclusion that I fancy the 309i over the gemini, especially if Forum Hifi have stock of it for £174 delivered. The only thing is should I consider the larger bk xls200 as the room is quite large and I've seen suggestions for other people with similar sized rooms that the 309i or gemini wouldn't be sufficient.
Any other suggestions and comments are very welcome.
