Hi there
Following the advice given by Steve/bluewizard and gibbsy in my last post here:
Answered - Improve Sound Quality of existing Speaker System thru Upgrade/Acoustic Optimization
I`m planning to upgrade my home theater system. And by upgrading I mean doing it right this time and to avoid double changing my hardware. But lets get to the point. I`m going to sell my Teufel Theater Mk2 5.1-Sound-System and therefore I need a new subwoofer that will stay for at least the next 10 years or so (because of the huge shipping costs, selling such heavy things is limited to my local area and thats why I want to avoid that as much as I can).
I have read a lot that one subwoofer isn`t enough nowadays in order to smoothing bass response across the room but I don`t want to buy 2-4 cheap entry level subs that I`m going to sell in a few years or so. I want to buy a big subwoofer like the SVS PB16. But I also want the most "bang for my buck". I live here in Germany so prices for SVS are pretty high compared to direct to customer selling companies like XTZ.
SVS PB 16 Ultra 3500€
SVS PB 13 Ultra 2200€
XTZ 3x12 2000€
XTZ 1x12 845€
XTZ 12.17 645€
All prices are including shipping costs (thanks XTZ for free shipping YaY)
My budget is roughly 2000€. Thats why I`d love to buy the XTZ 3x12. But because of the advice that you need at least 2 subwoofers nowadays, I`m a bit confused. Is the XTZ considerd to be 1 big subwoofer (like the SVS PB16 surely is) or is it considerd to be like 3 subwoofers (because basically it is 3 subwoofers stacked on top of each other). Is this enough to smooth out bass response across the room or do I still need a second subwoofer? Because I can`t afford a second XTZ 3x12 right now I would pair it with a cheap XTZ 12.17 then (if needed). That would be above my intended budget limits but if you advice me to do so, that would be possible to do so.
Thanks for all your help and hints. I`m loving this awesome community here already ;-)
PS.: My room has 29m²
