Subwoofer Selection HELP ? ? ?


I am re-building my system for a media room. I have all Magnepan speakers (3.6, and all MMG-W's for center, surrounds), with Bel Canto Ref1000 and Parasound A52 run by a Cary Audio Cinema 11. I really am struggling with what sub to get? I have not yet, but plan to buy a turntable and I have a Denon 5910 (being modded), so I love to listen to 2 channel music, but the room has a new projector and will definitely be used daily for movies/video.

All that said, I want one big sub. I have narrowed my choices to;

Definitive Techology Trinity

JL Audio Fathom 113

Revel b15a

Velodyne DD-18

Suggestions????

Nice subs no doubt. If I were to choose from your choices it would be Velodyne DD-18 then the JL Audio Fathom based from years being a Velo dealer. The JL Audio could easily be my first choice though as well. That's a tough call.

Another sub we are having great success with is from Triad speakers. Specifically, the Triad Gold/Platinum PowerSubs. Both are as good imho as the others mentioned and are less expensive. Plus, these are righ-sized unlike some of the ID brands that go for shear output and are as big as Volkswagons in your living room. Ouch!
