Hi Guys,
I have recently got into home cinema in a fairly substantial way and have one major piece of the system still to purchase namely a subwoofer. My living room is square 6m x 6m with a fairly low ceiling, tv, floor standers and centre speaker along one wall and hi fi rack incorporating AVR and bluray player on an adjacent wall. There is perhaps room for a subwoofer to be positioned on the tv wall but it would be restricted to about 400mm deep. Alternatively I have been given permission to buy a BK Monolith but it would have to go at the back of the room and in a corner.
The subwoofer would primarily be used for cinema but i would probably also wire it back to my analogue integrated amp just for a bit of fun. My question is would the subwoofer perform reasonably well in a corner as due to its size I would not be allowed to move it to another position in the room. I have read recently about the subwoofer crawl and wondered if I could use my wireless kitchen speaker which has a 6" subwoofer built in to get a good idea about bass response from the proposed corner.
Many thanks for constructive replies.
