Hi there,
Its a sad day when you finally accept that its too big, and I think i've reached that point. Ive just moved house and my new living room is only 15' 2" x 9' 11" so quite a lot smaller than my last room. I've re-run ARC last night and where in my old house my sub was set to 0, its now on -5 with no setting on the sub changed...interestingly, ARC says it has EQ'd the sub down to 16hz, impressive!
In addition to listening to more music these days and less movies, I think i should invest in a smaller, sealed sub which i'd hope to be faster than the monolith for music and still bring a smile during movies although i realise ill never get the slam of a ported sub with a sealed when going very low.
Im not averse to buying new or 2nd hand for the right kit and id imagine a budget of £750 could be sensible. If I could get a sub that is approx 600mm wide across the front I could fit it neatly between my centre and front XTZ stand mounted fronts and allow a nicer layout of my living room furniture. The GXFX of my brothers would be a perfect size, but they are silly money new.
Anybody with opinions on where I should look to full-fill my needs please?
