Hi all,

I am really interested in one of these subs but here is the thing, i'm not sure if i might be going over the top with this sub because my 5 speakers are small (ish) and i'm just wondering if having a sub this big would over power them and possibly leave a gap in the sound because of the sheer difference in sound and response between the sub and the other speakers.

Any advice much appreciated?

cheers!!

thats what i thought, but is there also an issue with having 'too much' power on tap?
Some people say it is better to have the extra power in case you ever need it and others say it is better to have something smaller and really drive it.
Put it this way.....small speakers in an 11ft by 12ft room.......would you buy the xls200 or the xls400?

cheers

thanks alot for the help. Sadly, i cut out the Monolith from my shortlist because even though that sub is excellent and very good value for money; because its ported, i dont think its going to be the best choice for me seen as i am 60% music and 40% films when it comes to the usage.

Theres only one other slight issue: I have laminate wood flooring and i wonder if the xxls400 (downward firing) sub may cause issues....if so can i solve these potential issues with something such as a granite plate or even something as simple as a thick rug?

thanks again
