Yeah this is Miles (Luc on this site) again.
And yeah, I thought we had this all settled, a second PB1.
But man, now I'm thinking again, (part of the problem) what if I went with just one sub?
Ultimately less space taken up,
less expense,
less calibration (phase) issues.
Here's the question:
PB2 or PB1+ ?
I listen to more music than watch movies, although I watch a fair amount of movies.
Room size is 13'wide 16'long 8'ceiling,
hardwood floor on beams (not slab).
Two openings to room, but also two closed corners, one front, one rear.
I like the idea of the better driver PB1+,
but don't really care to spend more on the aesthetics of a wood finish, as the sub is hidden in the corner, in fact I would really prefer it to be black,
as everything else is.
I like the fact that the PB1 is slightly smaller and lighter, but really, it's not that much of a difference.
I have never listened to music or watched movies at "reference level", nor do I plan to, so I doubt that I would ever overdrive either of these subs.
Of course it would be nice to save $200 bucks, but it's not the most important consideration, tonal accuracy is much more important to me.
Coming from using two Polk psw450's, either way I go on this would be up.
I like the fact that the PB1+ uses less electricity, (living in cal) and I think it has a better amp, but I'm not sure on this.
Crux question:
Do you think the db12 woofer to be truly superior to the standard ISD woofer and is the amp better as well?
Is there a different direction altogether that would be better? PC+ PC ultra?
Doc, if you can cypher through my ramblings and point me in a direction, I most likely will go that way.
Thanks!
