Greetings to all!
I am looking to purchase my first powered subwoofer to complete a first home theater system. Am not looking to spend much money as this is a first dabble into the HT area. Am using a bastard 6.0 set-up with speakers that either came with the home (installed in wall) or we already have, including a mix of HTD (surrounds), Mission (mains), and Audiosource (front & rear center) hooked up to either a Yamaha HTR-5560 or Kenwood VR-6070 (haven't decided yet).
I have seen good ratings and comments on the Sony WM-40 (12 inch )and the Audiosource SW-15 (15 inch, 200 watts). The Sony can be had for $125 with no shipping or handling costs, and ubid often carries the Audiosource for $143 plus 1center shipping. I know both will likely require some polyfill to get rid of boominess, and I am handy enough to handle this.
Any opinions as to which of the two are the better sub, and reasons why? I am not looking for a perfect match with my current speaker set-up, as this will change in 6-9 months.
Thanks, Mark
