I realize that this is the Exodus Audio forum but I was wondering if anyone has an opinion if any other PR's than the EX-PR18's DIY Cable sells are better for use with the MalX. I already have bought and recieved 2 MalX drivers and was intending to build 2 six cubic foot sealed boxes but after doing some reading and talking with my home theater designer Dennis Erskine (I am having the room built/designed by a pro but couldn't stomach the crazy prices of the subs they suggested like the Genelec HTS6 or Gotham, we are talking FIVE digits) I am leaning towards building 2 MalX+ dual PR boxes (~9cuft each). These will be behind a stewart AT 2.35 screenwall so size/appearence does not matter to me as long as they fit in the 24-26" space beind the screen (Dennis also suggested pointing the drivers parallel to the screen and not directly at the listening position, so a downfiring driver + 2 opposed side-firing design was my thought.)
The only other high quality PR's I have seen prices for are the Acoustic Elegance PR18-2100's and 1600's. These 2 brands are basically the same price.
I could also go with another driver in each box (2 sealed boxes with opposed drivers). this would yield more overall SPL but not as "flat" of a curve vs the PR design. If it would be a lot better I am not opposed to doing the 2 dual driver box and dropping the extra 300 bucks or so to get 2 more Malx vs 4 PR's. I just dont know how big of a deal having a "flatter" curve is vs having more headroom/SPL on tap.
Thoughts?
Thanks
