Tom,
Thanks for the response. Based on the advice from some of the other forum members, I emailed this exact question to Sales@SVS and "Ed" promptly responded. I sent him a detailed figure of my room. He mentioned that "
No doubt about it - the 20-39PCi is your guy. It will perform better than the SB12-Plus - going deeper and louder at the deepest frequencies." But I certianly like your idea of going with the louder 25-31PCi but tuning it for the lower frequency. I typically listen to movies between volume levels -20 to -10 dB. At least thats what's on my receiver. However, my current speakers are awful so I end up raising the volume to compensate. I will be upgrading them shortly after the sub. Out of curiosity, does SVS have a upgrade/buy back policy?
