Help a Lady out!

Okay, so I have jumped on the HT treadmill. I thought that I would be nice and purchase my husband a plasma for his birthday. Of course he loved it so then I had to buy the surround sound speakers which were JVC satelites along with a JVC sub. Now he was thrilled, but I was dissatisfied with the sound so I purchased new speakers recently - Polk m40's for fronts, M40's for rears and a cs1 center but I kept the JVC sub. At this point my husband is like "what are you doing I was content with the other speakers". But now the upgraditis bug has hit me. This is where you guys come in. I WANT another sub. I am thinking about either the SVS-PB10 or the Velodyne DP12. My room is 14 x 12. So what do you think?? Keep in mind that the sub will be the last purchase so it will have to last even if I upgrade the speakers.


Help!!!

How much sound do you want out of this? You're looking at approx 1400 cu ft., and the SVS models to do a nice reference level may be a bit higher than that price.


Here is one SVS within the budget:

If you are ok with loud but with a bit less quality, you have more options. I believe many here like the dayton and mirage subs.


Dayton:

A PB12-NSD sneaks in just below your limit (minus shipping) and will last through quite a bit of "upgraditits". :)

Translating for the fellas... "He makes enough money that I will put up with him."

The Velo is a nice sounding all rounder with great features, but for about the same price the SVS (PB10) is a step up in capability. Pretty much anything will exceed the HTIB sub. I'm sure you'll get other recommendations, but you'd really be happy with either of the two you mention.
