which subwoofer for my Sistem?

[crepax]

Hello guys, Who can advise me which subwoofer buy from these three.

The subwoofer are B&W asw 610s2, Rel T5, BK xls200

The living room is a 16 mq and I listen to both music and film 50/50.

All have the same price and all white because my wife prefers*beee*

thank you all for the answers

The bk has a bigger driver and a lot more power that is a very good starting point for decision over the rel

Never been keen on B&W subs but never had one at home

The Rel and B & W usually retail for £450 to £500 - quite a bit more than the BK, so sounds like they have been discounted, although the BK compares very well technically wise.

With your kit I would look at the BK XXLS400 if you have room for it - very good VFM, good for music and films. I've been very pleased with mine.

Thanks for responce. Anyway
I can take both the b&W asw 610 s2 and rel t5 for 344 £.
The price for bk xls 200 is 350 £ Including shipping to Italy. The dimensions are those and I can not take a larger subwoofers.
I hope you can help me in choosing?
Thanks

For me it would be between the asw 610 and the xls200 - they have very similar specs. Obviously the 610 would match your other speakers and is a very good price (are B & W about to replace it maybe? - it originally retailed for circa £500 and is 2008 vintage). The BK offers the option of a downward facing driver. What type of floor do you have? I have a hard wooden floor over a concrete base and BK advised I go for the downward facing. I assume if you have a softer (carpet/floorboards) then a front facing would be better.

bk has more power than both the other 2 - this is extremely important in sealed sub designs.

And it uses a well reputed driver - the rest is just box at that price point.

I would base my decision off that

I'm almost inclined to take the b & w 610 so as to have the same mark with the rest of the speakers.

I have a hard floor tiles...
