 Just how big is your room, you say medium sized but open to a kitchen, so that could be any size, 1000-8000cubic ft. If it is an area in the 4000cf range then you will most likely need 2 subs to really eliminate the peaks and nulls, as PEQs do a very good job but they won't eliminate them completely. Strategic placement will also help alot with the elimination of the peaks and valleys.
It also sounds like you are stuck on the big brand names Fathom and Revel but the price is the problem. A number of the reviews have the PB13-ultra sounding very close or better than than the F113 at less than half the cost. It seems to me unless you are willing to spend the money then you are left with the larger ported designs. |
36X12X9=about 3900 cu ft for the room+kitchen, then a hallway starts on the opposite end. The "area" I listen to the system in is about 1/3 of that, but like you said, it is open to the kitchen so I guess you have to take that into consideration. It might need be said that the Kitchen in on the SIDE of the theater, NOT directly behind, so I am only sitting about 10' from my mains and the sub is right next to the sitting position.
Thanks
It looks like the Velodyne DD12 can be bought used in the $1500 range, so that might be an option as well?
