Very new to this so excuse me if this is an elementary question.
Awhile back bought some new speakers (B&W 684 for fronts and B&W 685 for rears). At that time did not have the money to buy sub and center channel. I realize from reading that center channel has to match and most likely needs to be B&W brand. My question is pertaining to the sub. The salesperson suggested a B&W sub saying that they are dialed in to work with the speakers and that unless I was going to spend significantly more money that he would go with B&W.
Was this just the salesperson recommending his brand or is this true? When he says "dailed in", is he just talking about the crossover (read a little but don't know enough) I have read great reviews about the HSU VTF-2 MK3 (supposedly very musical but yet still great for movies) and can buy it for about $100-150 less than the B&W ASW 610. Can I "dial the HSU in" to the B&W brand or am I better of sticking in the B&W.
I do not really like uncontrollable, rattly bass. I listen to music a little more than movies, have a room that is 24'X 14' (part of the room is a play area and sound is not important).
Any and all help and opinions would be greatly appreciated.
