Hi, all sifus

I'm a newcomer.
I want to setup a HT in my new house and need to get some advise.

My HT consists of

1. Onkyo TX-SR507
2. Speaker system: Jamo S606 HSC3

My listening area is 20 ft x 24 ft x 10 ft.
Is actually the living hall connected directly to dinning hall.

Would Jamo Sub 300 Or Wharfy SUB 250 good enough for this kind of application?

of coz not coz ur listening area is huge... get 2 x PB13Ultras or 2 x Sub25

not match with the puny speaker..how?

can upgrade puny speakers later

My hall is 14*18*10 and trust me Wharfy SW-250 is not up to that task.

Buy if U insist U want SW-250 PM me I am selling mine.

I agree that the smaller subs probably cannot fill the area, however, with some time taken to consider proper placement, it shd be no pushover. Might not get the slam u r looking for, but still u will feel the presence.

Bro Anfieldude, yes I agree if I walk around the room to find the optimum place to put it, the presence is indeed felt. But the thing is I have a 2 1/2 year old toddler running around all the time so I need my place to be safe as well. So only place I can put it is in the front together with the rest of the gear.

Hence, the need for a bigger sub.

bigger sub such as?

With the addition of sub and proper tuning, it does make a difference in movie watching as compare to a typical 5.0 system. A lot of time, many people overlook the .1 in their setup. It's not about 'whoompa whoompa'. It's all about integration to the rest of the spkrs that would enhance the sound enjoyment. It's not all about Loud Boomy Boom Boom (sorry, i can't help it)

2 1/2year old kids rule! I agree.

I seldom let my 3 y.o. son to go into my HT room. He normally plays with his toys in master room. Only when he want to watch cartoon movies, he will go into HT room.

In my situation, can be said ... worse.... I am using KEF3005SE and the Subwoofer HTB2SE have both the driver and passive driver expose.. KEF do not make cover/grill for it.... Lifestyle thingy .. supposed to be seen.....
Imagine the placement issue.. if put in the middle of the room standing up with both driver expose.. very nice to look at... but any mishap.. then that the end of one lifestyle subwoofer.....

Taikor U elite got HT room mah. I live in peasant atap niah have to put all my HT stuff in the living room.

Fuyoo, really low profile and humble

It's a matter of want or not since there are plenty of rooms in your mansion. Probably HM did not give approval, is it?

HM will approve of anything if my wallet approves, but sadly...

How long u had been using the SW-250?
And how much u want to sell?
If the price is attractive, then may consider to buy and use it temporarily.
Plan to upgrade to Sub 25 later on as now really not afford coz just move to new house.

Fuyoo..... Sub25 Elite The 'touted' SubM killer. IIRC, it is on order basis. Takes abt 2-3 months to get one as the local distri did not stock it.

cslee07, your other loudspeakers must be One of the best setup belongs to shuto1 and there is another forumer who is very low profile with his system too.

SW250 was purchased late last year but only opened up and used mid last month when I moved into the new pad. Kiasu so sapu first

Frankly I am also not sure how much I bought mine and how much a new one is selling for now. Let me check and get back to U, but I would expect to sell it around 80% the price of a new one. Condition is perfect.

Agree........

Bro, cannot compare 12" to 10", of course 12" will have more slam and since Velo is ported it is more efficient. But SW250 is more musical and accurate I would say.

And of course, CHT12-R is more expensive than SW250.

Just my 2 sen, wait for subwoofer taikors to comment.

Dunno bout Jamo sub, but Yammy sub more suitable as footstool.

CHT-12Q costs a whole lot more than SW250. IIRC, it sld be around RM2.8K mark.

Yes, CHT-Q primarily for movie. SW250 would sounds cleaner but losing out in tactile. These entry level subs will not overpower the Jamo.
