Definitely demo the X10’s as well

Thanks for recommendation.
I will get another picture up when I’m back home, just doing some research while drinking beer in the back garden at the in-laws watching our new puppy destroy the place.
Budget wise will depend on selling the DD18+ but ideally around 5-6k.
If not in a rush I'd hold off until review start to drop on the new Arendal 1723 range. Arendal are claiming that the 2S is the best subwoofer in the world for music regardless of price (big statement!!!), the specs seem to suggest they'll dig deep for movies as well.
@mb3195 slightly concerned with the 2S only having a 13.8" driver though.
I can’t imagine any of the MK subs being an upgrade from that Velodyne beast you have, even the X12, maybe more of a sideways move. Arendal make nice well priced subs, as do PSA if looks aren’t majorly important!
I agree however I want to go back to running duals and don’t have 5.5k for a Velodyne.
The PSA is a possibility however I do really like the size of the X12’s. I’m not that bothered with ultra low bass, punch is my thing which I believe this is what the MK’s are best at.
In your opinion. Horses for courses.Won’t hold a torch to the arendals mate in this regard, even the current range.
SVS are also worth looking at.
PSA are supposed to be excellent.
Arendals are easily the best looking though.
That'll work, although what you've already got is no slouch either to be fair. It'll take some beating but two would helpThanks, it’s certainly better than it was, a few issues remain though.
Sub wise I was leaning towards Arendal but I can’t fit the 2V in the alcove as there’s not enough room for the drivers to breath so I’m still yet to decide.
Dual Sub 1’s maybe

Dual 2s if you can mate, they kick like an absolute mule!! Full SPL all the way to 10hz, but absolute control through the whole frequency range.
That's a good call, I think the 2S stacked could really work well, the alcove is 75 cm wide approx and Arendal recommend a 10cm gap between the driver and any wall, what do you think ?
I could even fit stacked 2V's, I'm getting excited
They should fit in well stacked ?
Depends if you want sealed or vented. I always run sealed hence why I changed my sub 3’s for the new 2s. If running sealed, stick with the 2s and save your money (and space).
Watching tenet last week, they are absolute monsters. (I’ve got a pair of 1s as well).
I do prefer a sealed sub if I'm honest, I could then add another near field one at a later date but would need to set that one up as wireless though
Hi very discreet in wall speakers but your front left and right speakers are so low down. Plenty of space on the wall to have got them placed higher up to the sides of the tv during the installation.Still some finishing touches to sort.
Carpet tiles to be fitted
New blinds
Curtain for door
Equipment rack to be built
System to be setup and calibrated.
At least we are in the room now and have Sky TV back after living in the dark ages.
Will take some more pictures when everything complete and summarise the journey from start to finish.
Really please with how everything is taking shape.
