Hi all,
I have a small basement room, designed as work and, most importantly game and movie room.
You can find a sketch here or attached to the post:

I only have one place to put a subwoofer: At the right side of the L-shaped couch (the box with the freezer-symbol, don't ask why).
As you can see, I have no real limit in height and depth. I am currently running a 25 year old sub, which starts to fall apart. It was one of those Hifi-Subs that can be run in stereo mode. So it is 60cm high, but quite narrow.
I am looking for a really good subwoofer. I have some decent active speakers, all measured and dialled in via miniDSPs. The sound stage is great. But they only go down to 36 Hz (and even there they need some help).
So I would like to buy a subwoofer that can do both: Enhance music and really deliver some deep bass for movies.
I was looking at the Arendal 1723 1S, since it is only 33cm wide and anything wider would limit access to the shelves and make my wife annoyed.
Some say the sub bass performance is not that great since it is a closed design. Some say this is not a problem, since the room is so small and this will enhance deep bass.
What do you guys think? Are there better alternatives?
Thanks!
