Please help me with my subwoofer dilemma

Hey guys,

I'm a newbie and this is my first post so please bear with me if I'm slightly HTF-challenged.

I know most people despise craigslist.com for some reason or other, but I am living proof that some of the best deals come from craigslist. Last week I bought a pair of B&W DM-601 S2 along with a Paradigm PS-1000 sub (don't know series for sure, but I think it's series 2) for $215 delivered to my door. The speakers and sub are about 6-7 on Audiogon scale so I feel like I got the deal of my life here. However, now I have a true dilemma (for me at least).

The Paradigm PS-1000 is amazing, but I also just got a Miller & Kreisel v-75 II sub off of ebay last week. In my living room, I currently have a Klipsch KSW-15 that has been serving it's duty. So now I have 3 subwoofers that all sound good for my needs, but 1 must go. I'm looking to keep one for the living room and one for the bedroom.

I'm just completely stuck as to which two I should keep and where to use each one. I've auditioned every one in each room and while the Klipsch is slightly worse with music, I still like it.

What should I do?

Thanks.

I would dump the M&K, I never did like the sound of there subs, or speakers for that matter.

You should get the FREE Room EQ Wizard software that will let you determine in-room frequency response of each of those subs. That’ll give you a clue which one(s) to keep.
