    I'm going to use it for 80 HT /20 2CH. Not sure on the room size. I'm going to move soon and don't have the room size. The room is not too big.

    The Dynamo comes in a 10 inch, 200 watt RMS, sealed. The next one up is the Abyss.

    Dynamos are available in 12" and 10" models...see onecall.com Either one digs lower then the 450. If that's a consideration..so I'd say, on paper, it would be an upgrade!

    Those are new offerings, there was just the one Dynamo, but now it looks like they offer the Dynamo: 500, 700, and 1000 not sure how they would compare to the original, which was pretty good. I would guess one of those to be an equal, one a little better, and one not as good but something to market in the $400 price point.
