I have not heard this subwoofer, but SVS makes great subwoofer in the same
price range.
at 2856 cubic feet the 200w amp may be too small.
danz I guess that depends on what your definition of "range" is. The eD ships for $350, I know that "free shipping" is not free, but how ever you look at it final cost is $350. What does SVS have in that range?
SVS does right now have a "B" stock PB12 NSD for $500 (saves you $70) something to consider.
kevhed all that being said, I use an A2-300 in a room a little smaller than yours (2500 cft), and it does a very good job for HT. Its weakness would be 2 ch. but it does a respectable job with music for my tastes.
Not sure what your budget is, but I would say contact them, (e-mail, phone, or they offer an on line contact with sales through their web site) give them your room info and see what they recommend. I have heard they give honest advice compared to the "got to move model x today", or selling what gives them the highest commission. I believe SVS and HSU also offer this honest advice on product selection if you contact them.
The nice thing about HSU is they rate their subs based upon room size.
I have put in 3 of these over the past couple of years. At $350 it's one of the best bang for the buck HT subs.
I would also look at the BIC Acoustech PL-200. If I can use my experience with the H100 as an indicator you should be happy with the PL-200. I haven't heard it but just going off my experience with the other sub in the Acoustech line up it will probably do well. I am sure there are reviews out there for that sub.
Do you have the ability to build your own speaker cabinet? That would be another option (DIY).
