Hi all,
I’m considering adding subs to my system, a Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 driving Philharmonic BMR monitors. I’m in a large open living area, about 25’x35’ with 9’ ceilings, and I sit about 9 feet from front wall. I’m primarily interested in music, but this is the main living area so it’s where we watch tv and play video games as well.
Due to design constraints, I can’t really fit a large sub in my space. I have a 12” high space under my media shelf, so I’m debating between two options:
1. Dual KEF kc62
2. Single Sigberg audio inkognito 10” (maybe 12”) sub, connected via a wireless adapter.
The Sigberg measures extremely well and has garnered rave reviews, but I’d be limited to placing it near a wall next to my couch and using a wireless adapter, which I hear can lead to some lip sync issues due to the delay the amp has to account for.
The KEFs also get a lot of press, but mostly for how great they are for their size - I don’t hear them recommended for a large space or for room shaking bass (which I admittedly don’t need). Others have said the bass from these wouldn’t add much to the BMRs, which go pretty low already. However I’m reading more and more about how important 2 subs are to account for room modes.
Although I’d love two Sigbergs, I don’t want to spend quite that much now.
What do you think? Single, excellent sub? Or two micro subs? Appreciate any feedback!
