2 10 in Wireless Subs at 150 watts continuous or one 12 inch 300 watt continuous subwoofer?

That cyclone bomb is brutal here in the NYC/NJ area right now.

I am not all that familiar with Rythmik's subs, but from my research I always felt that I'd get more sub for my $$ from Hsu.

Yes I'm in southern Pa on the border, it's cold but no cyclone!

Hsu is the front runner.

I agree on the full towers as opposed to bookshelfs.
I have had 10inch cerwin vegas as my towers and they are now 20 years old. Insane really.
My son is now 18. I raised him alone with no help or child support, I have a good job but wasn't in the position to upgrade such things. Now I am. And clearly I get my moneys worth so decent towers and a subwoofer I think is fitting and earned at this point.

I raised two sons by myself and I was the last relative in this town so it was just them and I for the most part. Well it still is just them and I except now there's grandchildren! But like you, I got through it and have been treating myself to a recovery of lost time with past hobbies.

If I had to start over, discounting my penchant for DIY, I would find something used to get me by until the JBL Studio 590's became available and would wait longer yet for a possible sale on them. I'm not usually comfortable recommending speakers, but those I would.

That's kind of what I did. I scoured C-list for a pair of used JBL towers that reviewed well and bought them and could still be fine with those, truth be told. Especially for the whopping $75 I paid for them. I planned on sitting on those until I saved up for exactly what I wanted. Those didn't/don't need a subwoofer in my house. It ended up being a rather inexpensive lesson on what works in this house without committing to any certain type of speaker. Actually, those older JBL's ended up being the benchmark and are still tough to beat.

2 sons? Well done sir, much respect.

I will check into the jbl studio 590s.
Do you know when they will be available?

Wow. We're having a mild winter, little snow (not enough) and 50s daytime temperature lately....at 1500' in the western Cascades....

I could definitely deal with the 50’s. Although somewhere around 80 is a little more to my liking.

Its been 4° where I am all damn week. Wait it was 17° yesterday.

Huh, sounds familiar, where you at?
Nvm...just saw

JBL website says backorder: Expected to ship May 24 but I don't know if they are available elsewhere. Others here would probably know more about that than I.

I just heard a pair recently and was ultimately impressed by how they sounded.

Yeah, single parenting is no joke so, hat's off to you for that. Apparently others are better at it than I am because it was quite a task and I'm still tired from it! I know a lot of women who pull it off but most of them had family help or, they were just geared for it more than I was. At any rate, it really made me appreciate how badass some of these moms actually are!

I like the 590s, have a pair (along with 580s, 530s and a 520). Their availability and price fluctuate....JBL recently sold them for $475 each; I got mine last year for $900/pr delivered thru Amazon from another seller....msrp is $1k ea.

You are still tired because you were a good parent and put in the effort!

For towers I want to stay with bigger mids and woofers. What do you know about the Fluance, svs and Polks?

Fluance and svs have towers for 700 a pair. Polk has 100 options.

Polk s60s

bigger mids and woofers? is that an equation to louder and deeper?

here is a speaker with two 5.5 woofers thats plays lower and cleaner than polks or fluance

Moreso to handle the necessary load without distortion.

Those are 4 grand.
Going that route I can find 5" mids that go lower than those for 10 grand.

Irrelevant for my price point.

I understand, my point is dont equate size to quality or performance.

Here is a monitor sized speaker that has one 7.5' woofer and a 2" midrange that is only $1300 a pair that play clean to 32hz no problem.
