This will be my first 5.1 surround sound. I have an Onkyo TX-SR507 receiver, speakers I am most likely getting are the Mirage nanosat prestige $450 new (retails $950). My living room is a living/dining room, 13 feet by 24 feet with 19 foot ceilings. I would like the ability to feel low bass outputs but not necessary. I don't usually have the volume that loud but then again I've never had surround sound.
Budget for a sub is around the $500. It would be used 80/20, HT/music.
I've pretty much narrowed it down to either
-Definitive technology Supercube iii for $350 new (retails $700)
-Definitive technology Supercube ii for $450 new (retails $900)
*I've heard both subs and they sound really good even in the worst placement. But then again I've never heard anything else.
First question is, is it worth the extra $100 between the both of these and will these fill my room since it is fairly large?
Second question is could I get a better subwoofer than these for under $500?
I've read throughout this forum about these subwoofers, and how SVS & HSU would be better subwoofers, but the comparable subwoofers from these companies would be around $700.
Open to take suggestions, advices or any comments you might have.
