I've had a PB 2000 in my 2,100 cubic foot, enclosed room now since February and overall I'm quite pleased. It makes the couch rumble pretty effortlessly and can't say I necessarily need more bass. In the diagram shown, I previously had the sub in the back right corner, but discovered putting it in the front left corner minimized localization yet didn't seem to decrease the amount of output in the room, so I kept the sub in the front. When calibrated the sub came back at -7.5dB, and afterwards I increased the gain on the back of the sub for more output. It now sits at around 3 o clock.
I decided to just give duals a shot to see what kind of impact this could have in my room so I ordered a 2nd PB 2000. To be honest, I'm not all that blown away and discovered it's perhaps the single sub does all that I need. I'm not noticing that much of a difference in output other than my two subs needing to work slightly less harder. My biggest complaint is that the chair on the left near the stairwell seems to be in a null. There is minimal bass there after trying the subs flanking both the fronts and doing the diagonal setup like in the picture. I can get some bass there if I turn it up higher than normal, but then the couch and right chair seem to have too much bass. The couch and chair are in a nice sweet spot it seems, especially the chair. Bass seems to be quite even in the room except for the chair on the left. Any reason why this might be?
My question would be if I want greater extension at some point or more punch, am I better off going with better subs in a dual setup to have more bass throughout the room, or spending money on a single, more powerful sub.
The way I see it is two PB 2000s is $1,600, whereas a single HSU VTF 3.5 is $892, VTF 15H MK2 is $1,068, so quite a difference in cost. Would love to hear some opinions. Thanks!
