Since my application here in this thread is 2 channel the need for
sub 30Hz performance isn’t a prerequisite. I don’t listen regularly to edm although maybe I’ll enjoy some more with a system capable of delivering cleanly in the bottom octave. I’m more inclined to hear the results on my classical recordings such as the train rumbling on Schubert’s 9th LSO, Krips up.
Sounds like I’ll keep the Ultra 16-SB for this room and go ported, dual for the family room HT. The HT needs to pressurize a much greater volume space. This info helps my focus on completing aspects for both areas.
I haven’t noticed any complaints of the Neumann’s lacking (or Genelec) in lower volume listening but I certainly will try to verify that.
Still wondering if 8351’s or KH310 would be more than enough for this room?
