add another big subwoofer later for more oompf. the primus series represents pretty good value and they will play quite impactfully

then figure in another grand for a projector and screen

He uses this and this in his listening room.

Or you were asking for something else? Sorry if I misunderstood you.

Hello,

I'm looking into replacing my Psw505 with a sub that hits deeper. My Psw505 can rattle the walls but it lacks punch. Looking around I found these two options in my price range,

Svs PB-1000 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K88UMPW/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=AKR88PAWTQVN2&psc=1

Svs PB-2000 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I985V4U/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A2H3DYB5PUVNNI&psc=1

Both of these subs should have more punch then the Psw505 from what I've read.

I posted a picture of the room I'll be using the sub in. The room dimensions are 14'x11' usable space. My Psw505 is located on the left side of the room, not pictured. My main usage is movies/netflix 85%, gaming 10%, music 5%.

Are the subs I linked good options for what I want? Are there other options worth considering?

Thanks,

And if they are out of stock, $700 open box.

Here are some thoughts

• You're welcome for replying let me see if I can point you in the direction that I think would work.
  
  
• If you're only getting speakers you have plenty of budget to do whatever you want. I think I would do a really nice 2.1 setup.
  
  
• Your room is small enough that you don't need to worry too much about the sub.
  
  
• Since you're in smaller room and in a condo lets go for quality over volume (at least that is what I would do).
  
  Here are some options I would look at. There are so many so I'll give you what I would do it this were my money and I was going for a 2.1 setup.
  
  

1. KEF Q100 $450 and an SVS SB12-NSD$450: $900 - This should be a very solid 2.1 setup for both movies and music. I went with the sealed box for size but you could also go with a larger ported PB1000/2000 $800 if you want to future proof a bit.
   
   
2. KEF Q700 $450ea & the SVS SB12-NSD $450: $1350 - You're getting towers so you don't need stands and probably a bit more efficiency due to the tower design.
   
   
3. KEF R100 refurbs $1000 & either the SB1000-NSB or a PB1000 $500: $1500 - Top of the budget with the bass line R series speakers. This would probably be a very good setup.
   
   

Sound bars are utter crap.

SVS PB-2000 + Pioneer VSX-831 + Monitor Audio Silver 1 or DALI Zensor 3 + stands high enough to raise the tweeters to ear level.

Thanks for the input. Just curious though (note: i don't know too much about any of this)...how would a 10" 300 watt sub (PB1000) have more output than a 12" 300 watt sub (SB-1000)? The only thing I'm thinking is that you meant the PB2000?
