Ken & wid:

You've convinced me to go with a sub. I stated the dimensions of my small room (10' x 10' x 8'), with most furniture fixed in position.

So I'm going to walk into this sub-shop, with a room of different dimensions, all speakers properly placed, and whatever brand I listen to, is going to sound good. How do I make a decision. Just go with the recommendations that you made Ken (since you've been through this process). I've got about $700 CAN to spend, and as for finding audio shops in Ottawa to have a listen, you might as well live in Hooterville.

Best Regards
