Modestly quick question…
I have a pair of Warfedale Heritage Lintons 85s being driven by a pair of NCx500 monoblocks fed by a WiiM Ultra. The chain:
WiiM Ultra -> NCx500 monoblocks -> Warfedale Linton 85s
I have some issues in my room with low frequency performance that the WiiM RC isn’t able to correct via parametric EQ changes so I purchased an SVS SB-1000 Pro. The sub seemed to review well / match my Lintons (or so I’ve been thinking…). It arrives later this week.
My main use is music. Every sort from punk through rhythm and blues.
Two questions.
First, any strong objections with the SVS SB-1000 Pro sub paired with Warfedale Lintons? Like so many speaker decisions, it’s impossible to go listen to options in a brick and mortar store. It’s a game of buy on Amazon, try at home and then repackage and return to UPS if you don't care for the speaker. It’s a pita, but it’s what I have… Are there other must try options? Yes, I’ve looked through the recommendations worksheet already. Hence the SVS.
Second, my listening room is fairly small. Think circa ‘30s / ‘40s construction with 7’ ceilings. It doesn’t need a huge bass source to fill the room. My thinking is that one 12” sub should be all that’s required. However, sonically, is it better to have two subs? I honestly don't know where I’d set two of them. I’d initially intended the Lintons to be standalone, so the subs are more floor space than I’d planned. One is going to be tight. A second would somehow fit, but it’d be unnatural (lol)…
Thanks in advance for your thoughts…
