After reading many a post on which speaker system to get, I think I've finally chosen the Athena Point 5 MKII system. I just wanted to get some advice on which subwoofer to get. I've found that a lot of people recommend getting either the Dayton 300-635 or the Athena AS-P4000. They both cost the same ($150), but have some different specs. The Dayton 300-635 has a 12" driver with a built in 150 watt amp, whereas the Athena AS-P4000 has a 10" driver with a built in 400 watt driver. I was hoping the AVSforum community might help in distinguishing which would be the better subwoofer for me.
I plan on setting up the system in a medium size room in my basement and am probably going to use the system mostly for movies, using it to occasionally listen to music. As my budget is probably going to top out at $500 to $600 range, I'd also like to leave some breathing space for a decent receiver. If anyone could suggest a good receiver to go along with this system, I would much appreciate it!
So in summary:
Speakers : $200, Athena Point 5 MKII- From Amazon
Subwoofer option 1: $150, Athena AS-P400 - From Amazon or BB
Subwoofer option 2: $150, Dayton 300-635 - From Amazon
Receiver: $150-$250, Up in the air at the moment...
For a total cost of $500-600 (Def. has to be under $700, though).
Thanks for your help, everyone!
