What do you want (s) more?

Have the Canton AS85.2 SC (with new power amplifier) ​​with my Canton GLE 490 as Fronlautsprecher in use and what can I say, the part has Buuuuums! My room is approximately 26m² in size and fills the small sub super with a nice pleasant bass from.

By div. Forum I was first very skeptical about whether it is enough for me with the GLE 490, or if you would prefer to get a equal 12 "subwoofer ?? Since the Canton GLE 490 to 2 x 200 have bass chassis and the Canton AS85 times now just 1x220. OK, what might be little, I thought with and order the same to me also the JBL ES250P. The price of JBL ES250 (approximately 299) is minimal and more the device is relatively well in reviews and tests away!

Compare:
When they then stood in the living room, I first swallowed. The JBL ES250P's a real monster! Does not all that worked in the photos! The thing was almost as large as our fireplace and my wife, put myself immediately before the election, the thing and the divorce or the small Canton and peace in marriage :-)))

But since I wanted it anyway knowing I can still run both times few hours! Just wanted to hear whether there are tonal differences and if I'm going to listen as lay the difference ?!

My Conclusion:
Yes there is a difference! The JBL ES250P plays deep and voluminous, even I know that. So who place and tolerant woman, then you do (s) with the JBL nothing wrong. Mega part with very good and deep bass. For our living room and to gravity was but easy to oversize. This thing has really killed my entire living room, making the overall picture broken. One would still feel comfortable in the room, so that's to be considered this factor.

Now for the small Canton. Too bad, I thought, you're making compromises in favor of optics. Then I played some time with the settings and run div. Movies and div. Music. And I must say, the part is no compromise! No. On the contrary. He plays very fast, accurate and has a very pleasant and neat bass. Nothing swings or booms. My whole system sounds very harmonious and the Baas is not to places. The stands between Fronlautsprecher and fits very well into the overall package. The bass never seems very intrusive. It runs at approximately -6 dB with the unit and the Receiver Denon AVR-1000 X even regulates him at -10dB. Nonetheless still plenty of punch! Optics is sent and compact. Fits very well with the GLE series and can be found for its compact dimensions quickly find the right installation site. No hum and the AUTO ON / OFF function runs with me without any problems!

I'm satisfied and my wife also. For "normal" household for rooms up to 30m² of this subwoofer is perfectly adequate and a lot of fun. Who, of course, more space (larger rooms) and enjoy very deep bass, which sometimes moves the sofa by the Bude, who was then but take the big whopper. The make then again more pressure.

I keep my little Canton and look forward to the next film.

PS: I also sometimes a photo with both subwoofer uploaded. As you can see the difference between large and compact very well :-)
