What will you be using the sub for ? Music /Movies or both ?
Budget ? Size /Colour limitations ?
I have a Gloss white Q acoustics 2070s sub , Both High level and low level connections .. Its very deep on movies and tight with Music or Try BK electronics in the UK , i have a BKXLS 400 DF and its amazing ..

Sub only for the Home Cinema system really. Nothing too fancy but preferably good solid quality. Thanks for your suggestions. Will look into it... :D

The BK subs look brilliant for the money! Not many second hand it seems, but I might fork out for a new one... Will keep looking. I take it your Q Acoustic is not for sale, JFK? Cheers...

Hi Claus , afraid not but Richer sounds Belfast might have one as they were selling them last week ..

Or there is a BK XLS400 for sale here ..http://www.avforums.com/forums/speaker- ... black.html

I am expecting a call back from Richer sounds as i was getting an amp for my Brother , so i asked them if they had any more of the 2070s on offer , i will ping you as soon as he comes back to me ok ..

Cheers
John

Thanks so much for your help. That is very kind of you John!
I am now a bit torn between going for the BK 200xls or the Q 2070s. The colour wouldn't matter as it will be hidden in a corner... well away from... wife... ;)

Cheers,
Claus

No Problem Claus your very welcome , i tried the 2070s in place of my resident BKXLS400 and i have to say it did fair pretty well ..

I guess the only issue with BK is that you dont get to try them out , but i have to say that my one surpassed all my expectations ..

Let me know if you would like to try the 2070s , im sure we could sort something

Thanks
John

Trying it would be very interesting. I will PM you about this! :D

Just to explain my situation in brief:

I have my PMC DB1+ at the moment doing surround front speaker duty. They are actually for sale but I might hold on to them even after the 1028be arrive as my new main speakers in the (hopefully near) future... I was originally hoping to use the 1028be as fronts but that means playing them in front of the chimney breast and that really did not work with the LFT-8. The soundstage just got too wide and seemed to lose depth. So as a consequence I am keeping the two systems separate, using the DB1 as fronts and my old BW DM303 as surrounds.

Hence the need for a sub and a centre....

If anyone has recommendations for some smart looking wall mounting brackets for the DB1+ I would be delighted to hear from you... I have been looking at official ones but they are really expensive! Thomann.de has a few options as well but it's har to know if they will fit the speakers etc. :)
