Hi Peeps
OK so i have a bit complicated situation with my sound system. So i currently have a monitor audio R one HD passive soundbar with monitor audio 90s HD as rears (rears not seen in photo).
I have this with a BK gemini Subwoofer all hooked up by my x2600h denon.
Now its been ok and the sound is ok but its a bit weak in terms of filling the room. I feel the subwoofer can get boomy if i put the volume all the way to max but then gets a bit of distortion.
Looking at the photo, i appreciate that floor speakers side by side of the TV with a main centre channels speaker will be ideal but i just dont have the space. My kids toys on one side and my mums chair on the other which i cant move just dont allow this.
So i am looking for a decent powerful soundbar which can pump the room. You can see in the video that the soundbar looks too tiny compared to the TV (LOL)
Its a 6 metre by 6 metre box room which opens into the kitchen.
I have found a private seller who is selling the Sonance SB46M. Granted this is not a popular brand of soundbars but wanted any opinions on weather this would easily be better than the R ONE HD speaker?
Also, in regards to the subwoofer, i am thinking whether i need to get at least a 12inch drive one. Also i was reading up online about ported vs sealed vs bass radiator. I think i would probably need to go for a ported one. Would a 12 inch sealed sub be better than a 10 inch ported or bass radiator SUB?
Need some expert advice. You can see the subwoofer is located just right of the TV and this is the place i want to keep it. What are advantages for ported or bass vs sealed?
Please note that this advice is solely based on TV watching and movies. Music will not be used at all so i dunno if that makes a difference in choice of subs or speakers.
(sorry ignore that black subwoofer. Thats my old yamaha one. Was suppsed to move that).
