As many of you know, I recently upgraded my sub to an asw-850. I have to say that this is truely an amazing sub, but it really is too much for an apartment.
Most likely it will be at least 1.5 years before I get a house. Spent my downpayment and then some on this system. The wall that my entertainment stuff sits on is quite full and makes a small room feel even smaller. My fiance and I have been apartment hunting for when we get married and right now, it looks like even if we get a bigger place, this problem will still be there. The sub creates a lack of symmetry.
I have been trying to think of ways to make it work, and evaluate all alternatives. One option I have been contemplating is the possability of trading my 804's and the asw850 in for a pair of demo N802's. This would give symmetry on the A/V wall, and possibly giving the appearance of less clutter. Don't get me wrong, I love a good HT setup, but I also want a clean looking setup.
With the 850 being too much until I get a house, I was wondering if the 802 would offer enough low end without using a sub. 802s are great for music, but would it be overkill for an HT setting with only maybe 10% music?
My fiance hasn't told me I had to sell my sub, so don't think I have any pressure to do anything at this point, and I havent decided anything, I am just evaluating my options. What do you guys think?
