Looking for a new subwoofer. My Infinity PS12 died earlier this week, the built-in amplifier is busted. It still turns on but it cuts off after about 45-60 minutes. And then just pops on & off until I let it cool down again. And of course its 3 months out of warranty, so I'm looking to replace it. I was very happy with the sound it produced. But I'm not buying Infinity again as they don't make parts for it anymore, so can't get it fixed. What the hell it is only 3 years old!
I'm living in a condo so the living room area is a little small about 1600sq. ft. or 2450sq. ft. if you include the dining room area which is part of the same space. The PS12 was plenty of sub for my space, I definitely don't need to get any louder!! My neighbors would kill me, haha... I really can't exceed the footprint of the PS12 as space is pretty limited. The PS12 measured in at: 14-3/8"W x 17-1/2"H x 18-11/16"D. I could go slightly bigger, but depth is pretty limited.
My System Setup:
Samsung LNT-4061F
Onkyo TX-SR504
Infinity Primus Bookshelf (x4)
Infinity Primus Center
The Infinity Primus Bookshelf & Center Speakers have a Frequency Range of 100Hz - 20kHz, so need something that can do ~18-20Hz-100Hz quite well. The PS12 dropped off at 25Hz, it would be nice to get down to 20Hz or slightly below that if I can manage it.
I mainly do movies and games (Xbox 360) on my system. As well as just regular TV watching, but I don't usually have the sub turned up much when watching TV.
I was looking at these SVS Subs:
PC12-NSD
PB10-NSD
Both have a pretty small footprint which I'm looking for. I'm kinda leaning toward the PC12-NSD, but open to any other suggestions. Trying to keep this under $600.
