That's my big question to. I need new mains and a new center big time.
I don't know Seth, I was envisioning something more interesting than a plain old LT box. And I don't think 4 AV12's would get to 130db anechoic at 1m, which is what Tom stated about the new sub. We'll just have to wait and see.Well Michael I'm not sure that Tom ever said it would do 130dB anechoic. But 4 AV15 can do 130dB anechoic just not at 20Hz.

For the sake of argument, let's say that when Tom said the new sub would be "a bit larger than the ASW4000", he was implying it would be 2.5 feet on a side (15.6 cu ft) rather than 2 feet on a side (8 cu ft).
Would doubling the estimated volume make a significant difference in any of your predictions?Depends on the driver of course. It could buy a few more dB at low frequencies. This of course will come at the cost of the Q of the box if we use the same AV15 drivers as before. However it's possible to make a sub so that 4 of them have a .707Q in a 16.5 cu-ft box.
