I do know about your sub but i am using a ps3 which is quite good but am going to get a dedicated blue ray player soon for the hi-def sound, the ps3 sound is average no hd but the picture is good in my opinion.i just use a hdmi cable, (onyko 705 amp) so that is all you should need.

In aroom that size I'd suggest that the Monitor Audio RSW-12 subwoofer would be a sensible investment. If you want a very small sub, I'd suggest the MJ Reference 100 or 150, or maybe even the Velodyne MicroVee.

If size isn't a problem go for a BK Electronics Monolith DF. I bought one after hearing one and at £407 the price is amazingly low.

The RSW12 is in another league.

I've merged this thread again as you seem to keep asking the same question. It's more likely you'll get replies if you stick to asking just once.

Only you can decide that by auditioning them, I have the rsw12 and it certainly puts a smile on my face every time I watch a movie.

Yes.

Put it this way, demo one and you will buy it. I was amazed what a really good sub could add to my system. From explosions and gun shot (Munich, Saving Private Ryan) to Pod racing in Star Wars and then films like Ice Age 2 and Monsters Inc, the sound is incredible. My only problem is that I'm always being told to "turn it down, you don't need it that loud"!!

Arf69:what sub do u have garrad

I have the RSW12. Before I bought my Monitor Audio speakers (I have R90s instead of the RSFX or whatever they are called), I had the Jamo £250 5.1 package. The sub that comes with it is far better than you would expect and I kept it for a while and sold the other Jamos on. After a while I demo'd a few subwoofers and then got a deal with my local Sevenoaks for the RSW12. The improvement truly astonished me. It is a phenomenal speaker for the money (although they are now priced at £750 because of increased transportation costs - I paid £550!!). I would be very surprised if you could beat it for the money and as it's been designed to work with your RS6AV package, I would highly recommend it. I'v not heard one person say a bad word about it - for a MA product, that is some acomplishment!!
