LOL here in Japan we get only 1 year. Well maybe that was the reason someone told me that extended warranty was no needed.


Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.

Hey jake just checked my m80s are sitting in calgary wanna bring them to me. Purolator said they wont bring them to red deer till late today or early tomorrow.

Looking at subs it seems that Im in the $1500 ball park all said and done for 2 subs. Weather it be hsu, epik, svs, funkywaves, rythmik.

How are axiom subs? Something like the 400 that I could buy now and get another down the road?

like the movie "Fiddler on the Roof", choosing a sub is a delicate balancing act, weighing such factors as weight, size, footprint, f3, distortion, max SPL, etc...

if you listen to movies, with a room like yours, i would get the SVS (PC or PB) 13 Ultra.
for music only the SVS (PC or PB) 12+ would be an excellent choice; it might also be good for movies in your room.
Everyone says that SVS gives honest recommendations on the phone, according to your situation.

I agree with the comments above, you're room is pretty big. Keep in mind that the M80s have enough bass for most musical types. Since you're doing 50% HT, I would focus on getting a sub that can deliver significant output down at least to 20Hz which usually means bigger enclosure and higher price.
If I wanted to go dual subs in this price range, I would consider the new HSU VTF-15H. People that own them are extremely happy with them.

for music use, only organs go lower than 20 Hz.

Out of those choices my vote is for a funky waves build. Best build quality by far (construction, cabinet, drivers) and you would even have the option to get true 20hz performance (not including room gain/in room) in a small footprint if you like. More custom options as well.

Oh my what to do what to do.

I should also state that for my $1500 budget I would need that to be the end price after shipping. That takes me to more lower end of each brand.
