I currently have 2 Polk Monitor 60, Polk CS2 center, 2 Monitor 40 and a Onkyo 607

My plan is to buy a Polk PSW505, around $220 to $250
Now I have a chance to buy a used but in excellent condition PSW1200 for around $550

The room is 20 x 15 in a SFH. Size and look does not matter. The use is 80% music, 20% movie

So what do you think?
- Is PSW1200 overkill?
- Does 607 have enough power for PSW1200?
- Money wise for quality over $300 in difference plus the risk no warranty

Thanks

    see if you can get the PSW1200 for less.. then that would be a really good deal.

    I agree with DB, try to get the price down a little. I've never seen one of those over here, so have no idea of market value.

    to answer your questions ;

    - overkill? Once calibrated no
    - 607 have enough power? the 1200 is powered

    The last Question. I owned a psw505 for a while, to be honest is was pretty good value, but there's a lot better subs out there. I ended up going back (in age) to a psw650, but i like the older stuff better.

    p.s welcome to the club.
    In terms of audio, i truly feel sorry for the visually impaired. How can they know what they like if they cant read google?

    Thank you both. Great to be a Polk owner. Really like my Polks

    I will try to negotiate down the price to $450. If not I will try to look for other options, maybe AV123 MFW-15 or Hsu VTF-2 MK3

    The 1200 is an insane sub - my dad has one and it shakes the room like mad. It's pretty clean, too.
