 Hi:
I am building out a new theater and need some advice on which & how many subs to get. After reading the excellent reviews and comments posted here I have decided on SVS and will go with the cylinders.
The room is 15w x 17L x 10H. Its pretty isolated from the rest of the house, so I can go as loud or deep as I care to. WAF is not an issue, she is a big fan of movies. The main speakers are a pair of Infinity PFRs which include powered woofers spec'd at +/- 2db @ 35hz and -6db @ 20hz.
So a couple of questions:
Is there much difference between the PCI line and the PC plus - it looks like its mainly the amp 320 vs 525 watts.
Would it be better (deeper, more ooomph) to go with one 16-46 PC plus or two 20-39 PCI?

Hi Smitty:
Compared to the PCi line, the PC-Plus has about 50% more amp power, a better woofer, and about 80% more port area. For a given cylinder size, figure on 50-70% more deep bass output capability from the PC+ line.
Given your two options, I would definitely recommend the dual 20-39PCi over a single 16-46PC+. The dual PCi will have higher output and headroom over the most common bass regions (i.e., 20-80 Hz), and duals also deal more effectively with modal peaks and nulls and should provide a smoother FR at the listening position if located properly - I can give you guidance on this - just email me at Sales after you get the subs and send me a diagram of the room.
Thanks for the inquiry, Smitty!
