I have been going round and round on this for months now. I currently have a PB10NSD. Since my room is pretty small (1450 cubic feet) and sealed, it performs well. I can get to about -15dB below reference before any sort of compression sets in. I normally listen at -17dB or -16dB below reference...sometimes pushing it to -15dB, so I am real close to this subs limits, but still within reason. Because of room gain, I get a pretty flat response to 18hz, and 16hz is not far off. Overall, I am pleased with the sound quality. I have owned some pretty expensive subs in the past, and the PB10 sounds great.
I am debating selling the PB10, and getting something bigger, like the AV123 MFW, or maybe the PB12+ from SVS (although more expensive than I want to go), or maybe something form Epik or eD. I am also seriously considering adding another PB10. I like the idea of two subs, but if I did that, I would not co-locate them, so I am not expecting the full 6dB increase in headroom...maybe 3dB.
Any thoughts?
