1723 2S, 1V, 2V or 2x 1S ?
I’m interested a new subwoofer config using the 1723 and would like to know more about what I should expect from each of these configurations in a 6x6x3m living room that opens up to additional space like kitchen and hallway. Would appreciate inputs and recommendations.
Some more info about my current setup:
– HSU VTF-3 HO sub (very old) – 20 Hz-150 Hz ± 1 dB, no CEA2010 data, which provides reasonable low frequency physical feeling/rumble for movies in my room, but the mid/low bass is not as precise and fast as I’d like for music (mix of classical, hip-hop, rock)
– B&W 702 S2 FCR – a configuration that pairs well with the capability of these would be nice
– Yamaha A8A – supports multiple sub and I can retune with YPAO RSC 3D for in-room optimization for simplicity. Rather not get into more complicated optimization like with REWS etc.
I don’t usually play at reference (kept it as ~-25-29db) but definitely want to occasionally dial up the rumble for movies and enjoy more precise mid/lower bass for music. From my research, it seems like for a larger lossy room with lower room gain, it is usually better to go with ported subwoofer (1V, 2V). 2V is a beast, slightly larger than ideal but can still fit. 2S gives great output above 30Hz. 2x 1S will have the benefit of even things out but I can only do an opposite corner placement which will require long cabling (or wireless) setup which is not ideal.
