Re: Sierra 2 sub recommendation request with detailed room diagram
Don't forget that you get 150 bucks off if you order two F12's at once, so you may want to wait until you can get both of them if you go that route. I haven't heard the other subs so I'll wait for others to chime in, but if you're going to use the mini DSP for EQ then you can probably just go with the L12's as you won't need all of the PEQ functions on the F12 amp.
Just for clarity's sake, the Asgard 2 is not a phono preamp, it just has a normal pre-out from it. Keep in mind that the Asgard 2 is fully Class A, so it runs pretty hot. I would not want it within a couple inches of my monitor. If I were you, I would go with the Magni 2 Uber to match the modi, especially if you don't plan on using headphones normally. The top of the Asgard 2 gets so hot when it's on that you can't keep your hand on it for more than a few seconds. Warm and toasty Class A there for ya, the chassis is the heatsink for it. The Magni does not run hot at all, it's a Lin amp, much more efficient. If you need a phono preamp for a turntable you'll have to get the Mani and a Sys to use as an input selector.
Also, fantastic job on the layout PDF! Looks great! The room treatments should work out well!
