I've skimmed through the subwoofer comparison thread, but one thing that I haven't been able to extract from there is which subwoofers are more geared towards games/movies as opposed to music. The sub will rarely (if ever) be used for listening to music, so that is not a priority. It will be used primarily for video games (80%), and tv/movies (20%).
What very much appeals to me is raw boominess and punch-to-the-gut feelings (I do not have a sophisticated ear ) . An active sub would be more ideal for me because the amp would only be used for the sub anyway, so may as well have an amp built-into it. I could probably be persuaded away from that if there is a compelling enough product.
Room dimensions 14x24x9 = 3024 cuft. Budget $5000 USD.
I'm currently eyeing the JTR Captivator RS1 because of the audioholics review, but perhaps there's something newer/shinier or perhaps that's just overkill for my room. I'd have to assess my electrical to see if there is an outlet in this room that would support the full 2400 watts based on the other gadgets in there.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
