My bedroom setup is 5 B&W CCM817 Ceiling speakers paired with an M&K MX-350THX sub. I have been debating upgrading the sub, but I am not really sure what would be a good fit. The 817s have response down to about 70hz then start to fall off, so a good subwoofer is needed. The M&K does a good job (it is about 8 years old).
I looked at the web page for the B&W DB1, but at MSRP of $4500 it is a bit pricey, and given the lack of any mention in the subwoofer forums here it is unknown. There were some mentions of it in the B&W thread, just really announcements of its arrival last year but I could not find any reviews.
$4500-$5k is the upper limit of what I would want to spend. I would be much happier in the 2-3k range. The room is 15'x20'.
Is there a nice sub upgrade in my price range, or should I just stick with the M&K? It is for a home theater system 50% movies 50% TV.
