Okay I set out on this journey of upgrading my sub by originally planning on getting a used Velodyne HGS12. Then I decided to go new with a SVS sub (PBplus 12). Then I was going to get the HSU VTF3-HO . Then I switched over to the SVS BP13U. Then I find out about Epik. The Tower seems to be the way to go over the BP13U. But then there's the Conquest.

So currently I have an energy s10.3 sub in a 13.5 x 18 x 8.5 room with a open door that leads to a hallway/kitchen on the side and another open door in the back that opens to the foyer and dining room.

My speaker arrangement is as follows:
Front: Def tech BP7001 driven by Carver TFM55
Center: CLR3000 driven by TFM15
side surrounds: BP2000tl driven by TFM35
rear surrounds: BP7002 driven by TFM35
All running off a HK AVR325
Buttkicker LFE kit

Any thoughts/opinions on what would work well given the room and current setup. I was thinking the Tower (since it seems compareable to the PB13U), but the Conquest does seem appealing based on everyones responses/experiences here. The Conquest is $500 more plus cost of shipping differences. Would it be extreme overkill for me? (Yes I saw Dennis's post above mine) Granted everyone's listening preferences are different. Any advice or suggestions would help before I pull the trigger. And I can't wait for Craigsub to do his shootout cause I want to upgrade now.
I listen to HT 85%.
Thank you in advance

Guys, is that time, time-and-a-half, or double-time?

13.5 x 18 x 8.5

plus we're going to be moving to a bigger home in a year. So why not.

So I ordered the Conquest and now I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Thanks,

(no i'm not being serious, but if somebody has a coupon code, feel free to share it)

I know the tower would suffice to say the least, but I went with the Conquest just so I wouldn't always wonder what I was missing for the extra couple of hundred bucks. Plus I wanted something to work with a larger room if need be for when we move next year.

But....all this talk about 2 Towers has got me thinking now 'cause I didn't think of that before.

Darn it!

My room is 15x15x9 so I decided to get the Tower. I kept thinking about the Conquest and called Chad to talk to him about it before my order shipped. He told me in that size room the Tower should easily be enough. So I kept my order of the Tower. I then asked him if I felt like I needed more if I could stack 2 Towers. He said 2 Towers can be stacked and the output would be more then the Conquest. Chad told me the way his line is set up 2 of any sub under the next one of his line up will surpass the next one. Example 2 Towers more output then Conquest. So I will try one Tower and go from there. I am hoping one will be enough. I am going to run it with my 2 SVS 20-39's. The SVS'S will be in the back of the room and the Tower in the front. I will try different combinations . Tower only and both runnig and see how I like it. My Tower should show up today so this weekend I will be playing around with my subs.

If I don't like the setup with the 2 20/39's I will move them to my tv room and keep the Tower in the theater room. I will let everyone know how they worked together.

Thanks Chad for your reply. I will take a much closer look at this thread regarding the valor. BTW, how much longer will it be before the small sealed 12" can be purchased? I am very interested and most importantly, what kind of price range will it be? You mentioned on the blog that it will cost more than the Valor-any idea of how much more? Dont mean to pry but am now just learning about your products/company. I will say I am impressed the products are made and assembled right here in the US. I also am aware the amps are made up North but by all accounts seemed to be very reliable and well made. Thank you for your reply Chad. Looking forward to hearing from you again real soon.

I have sent several email to epik regarding this but no one has gotten back to me. Not really sure if it is being flagged as spam or not. If you do please share it with all of us because so many of us want to know. I will be buying a new sub very very soon and I am very interested in this new 12" sealed sub. I need to know how much it will be and when will it be available??? Please Chad enlighten us. Have a great day.

I have sent Epik several emails to find out more BUT nobody has gotten to me as of yet. I mainly just want to know the price range that it will be in. I do know it will be more expensive than the valor but how much more is my question.

Hey man, give Chad a break. He's not going to get it done any sooner with you constantly barraging him with the same question.

But, I am more interested in the 12" and just trying to get an idea of the price range it will be sold at. Sorry, if I came across this way. I plan to buy a sub soon and trying to consider all possibilities that are within my price range. I owe it to myself to get the absolute best sub for my hard earned money that is suitable for MY application. Hope you understand where I am coming from. Just trying to avoid that "what if" that I encounter quite often in this hobby as do many of us.
