Which of these three subs would be best fit...

I'd go with the A2-300. I'll also add the Premiere Acoustics PA-150 to that list.

The important question here is this: how big is your room (LxWxH)?

Either the ED A2-300 or I would add the Energy S10.3. The Energy has an enviable frequency response.

I will second this.

Thought I would chime in and add some friendly advise as well. I will go ahead and just "assume" your budget is around the $260 price and your room size is around the 12/14 x 20 area.

At the $260 mark I would suggest maybe these:
1) Bic Pl-200 for $260 or so shipped ( I had two of these as they were very good at HT
2) Premiere Acoustic PA-120 about $220 or so shipped * build quality very good- I have the PA-150

I have seen the Bic F-12 as low as $185 shipped thu amazon and such as I do believe they run specials from time to time. IHMO I would take the PL-200 over the F-12 thou

I have not herd the ED A-2 but it seems to please those who have them.

Lava seems to be IMHO not as a great deal even at $200 as you can get a PA-120 for around $220

Just for thoughts here:
"IF" you are looking to maybe get into a bit larger sub I would highly reccomend the PA-150 but then again its a bit more $ than the $260 as it can be had for around the $370 area ( shipped that is).

Remebr thou... its just my thoughts

Save a bit more and shoot for the PA150.

As someone who owned an A2-300, I would have two concerns on buying used:
- Amp
- Driver

There have been many failures on the A2-300 amp and it will most likely no longer be under warranty buying used since eD's warranty is 12 months. So keep in mind that a new amp is around $120-130 shipped.

The driver has a warranty (I want to say 7 years) but eD has denied several folks the warranty if you use Audyssey. So if you plan on using Audyssey or other room correction software, I would go somewhere else unless you just don't care about a warranty at all.

I have owned an A2-300 and a PA-150 and would recommend the PA-150. It has noticeably more output and it also looks much nicer. The A2-300 is not the prettiest subwoofer

Its a good thing you pointed that info out. I was thinking about the same thing but since I have never owned an Ed I thought I would just "keep to my own".

As a former Lava owner, I would highly recommend them. I would also get the LSP-12 unless you have size requirements. With the AVS discount, its only 288 shipped to your door. Counsil had a good review on it and I would agree. It never struggled at anything I threw at it, and if I wasnt upgrading to an Empire or VTF-15, I would have kept them.

With all due respect the measured frequency response of the LAVA 12 was seriously disappointing as measured by Audioholics:

That frequency response is more like that of a mid-bass module.

For $200 at newegg the Energy S10.3 does much better.
