DSW Pro 660 vs HTS 12

Hi,

Room size: 23 X 13
Towers: S60
Center: S35
Denon Receiver
Surrounds : Fluance bipolar and infinity in roof (atmos)
HTS10 ( Just sold it as it did not meet expectation)


i would want to get 2 subs now. I am in market and between one of the below 3 option

1. Two DSW 660
2. Two HTS 12
3. SVS PB 2000 ( one number)

Please suggest me.

Can DSW 660 perform better than HTS 12? on the paper DSW can go lower than HTS but shopkeeper told me that in reality HTS perform better.

DSW is fairly older sub so I am unsure if I go ahead with this.

Alternately, if I go for a single SVS in place of 2*HTS or DSW is it worth?

Please help. Trying to figure this out for long time without many open questions.

Cheers

    Yep, the one SVS will out perform either dual subs. It will both go lower and hit harder and louder.

    The DSW subs are very capable (and underrated). Haven't heard the HTS, but something about the look of the series doesn't impress.

    Why is that ? Subwoofers don't have to voice match speakers, there is no voices in them. :)

    Just from specs, price, build quality, I think the dsw subs are superior. But go svs or hsu if at all possible...
