I have a set of ProAc Hexa front/centre speakers, Kef 2005.2 surrounds and the Kef sub.
While the Kef sounds good (ie, I cannot tell that the bass is not really coming from the other speakers) it does not seem to go particularly deep. Perhaps my ears are not down to it or perhaps it does not help to have the sub pointing down into a thick carpet (unavoidably).
Options:
(i) leave well alone;
(ii) try the ProAc sub (although that seems to include a smaller speaker even though the box is bigger and so may not actually get me any deeper)
(iii) consider another sub altogether. Which?
Constraints: I don't want anything that is much bigger in footprint than the 12.6" Kef.
