Hi Guys
I currently have the Polk Audio CSW155 paired with RC80i in-ceilings in my kitchen. I'm using the SWA500 amp. I love them, and most people say the sound in my kitchen is better than their living/home theater room. (Of course, these are not aficionado's like us lot on AVS.)
I'm moving house and will leave my beloved CSW155 behind. I gut rehabbed my current place so it wasn't a problem installing it, but the new place is pretty much pristine except a storage room in basement, which is conveniently under the room where I want an in-wall/floor sub. So, the CSW100 or CSW200 seems like a good solution (not sure of difference between 100 and 200 (other than the shape of the grill).
I'm wondering if the CSW100 will sound as good as my CSW155.
So it looks like the CSW100 should be marginally better than the CSW155. does anybody by chance have experience of the two to confirm?
Any other solutions you could recommend (in-floor ideal) for a hidden sub and in-ceilings. My budget is about $1500 for the sub/amp/in-ceilings(1-pair). Would go a bit higher for something exceptional
It's going in a room that is about 20x12, but has openings to 2 other rooms

- The CSW100 has about 20% more volume vs the CSW155.
- The CSW100 has a range of 27-140Khz vs the CSW155''s 30-140Khz.
