Hello, I was hoping to get some feedback on the following sub purchase. This will be for music 2.1 setup.

I'm running an Anthem 710 MRX and 2 KEF R500 Fronts. For the tightest, most authentic music playback, which one do you recommend?

I am steering towards the 2 SB 2000's, but hear great things about the other two... Also, I wasn't sure the best hookup for 2 channel playback? Do you recommend using an RCA Y adapter from the "sub out" on the back of the Anthem for 2 SB 2000's or using banana connectors to RCA connectors to tie into my LF and RF main terminals on the Anthem? Overall, if going with just one sub in a 2 channel setting, is it better to connect straight from the main left or Right terminal on the RCVR to SUB rather than from the Sub Out on the RCVR?


Thanks for any and all help!

2 SB-2000 is your best bet. 2 subs are always better than 1. Your gonna have some serious tight bass with 2 SB-2000 subs. Nice choice.

You'll want to use the crossover in the Anthem by using the sub pre-out. A split of the signal is fine if your avr can't handle two separate subs for delay/level.

As to just using a single vs dual subs, dual subs gives you more opportunities to smooth response thru the room. Sealed doesn't necessarily give you better performance for "music"...

Why not two ULS-15 mk2 subs? A single ULS-15 mk2 can outperform a single SB13-Ultra, and two ULS-15s cost about the same as a single SB13-Ultra. Get the best of both worlds!
