Which sub would you choose?

I am considering buying either two Audio Physic Minos or a single Wilson Audio Watchdog. My room is 15 by 20 with 10 ft. ceilings. I use the system equally for two channel and HT. My equipment is as follows. CB2 processor, Faroudja video processor, Front left and right and center speakers are Kharma 3.2 floor standing monmitors, the surrounds and rears are Aerial Acoustics LR3 and SR3. The front projector is a Sony G70. I have heard great things about both subs. Which would work best for me?

Hi, All

I have to make similar decision aobut buying SW12. Currently, I have Aerial 10T, CC3 and snell for HT's rear speaker. I thought Aerial 10T is full range and don't need SUB and like to know your opinion. Do we need same brand SUB and Speaker? How about Velodyne HGS-18 ? Is this worth to invest another 4K or 3K for used on SW12? Why SW12 is cost twice more than HGS-18? Is this going to make big difference with SUB? Please advise.

The Aerial will mate perfectly with the 10 s and I cant stress enough the importance of matching a sub to your mains. Other than incorrect center channel placement , the single biggest mistake made in multichannel is the sub. Get the aerial and forget about life for a while. It is astounding and for full range , yes the 10 t s do benifit.

Hi, Brainwater

Any reason you did not buy LR3 for your rear system?

The lr 3 s are a fantastic dedicated surround speaker. My main goal is reproduction of multichannel and I have felt that a no compromise set up would need matching speakers in rear but I have heard lr3 s with 10 ts and the results are fabulous. I am able to go that xtra mile so I do but it is by no means a signifigant sacrifice to use the lr3 s .
