Musical sub for a 13x13 HT

[Florian]

Florian-
Thanks for your input. The good news is that the room is not exactly square, although it's close. It was 17x15, but I just had bookcases built onto one wall of the room so the dimensions have changed slightly.

I am only now just beginning the process of identifying the equipment. The front speakers have to fit into a bookcase so they cannot be very large and preferably not rear ported. I will probably be limited as to where I can place my sub, so it can't be too big since the room also has a desk, chair, a 33x80 inch bookcase opposite the built-ins and will probably also get one or two comfy chairs for listening and viewing. I should know better how it all works in a few weeks. I think it will take a lot of effort to optimize this dual use space.

I will look further at the RELs and VMPS (if available in the states). Is there a particular model that would best suite my application? I don't particularly want something that is really loud. I'd much rather it be good musically, however, it would be nice if the sub I end up with is one where you can 'sense' the sound before you actually hear the rumble when watching a movie in 5.1. /P

I would give VMPS a try then. I would recommend the

215 Sub w/MegaWoofer for $649.00.
