Single B460 or pair of B380

[majick47]

Visited my brother this week and after dinner we listened to his 4311b, he is slowly coming to the conclusion that a subwoofer would make a big difference on the low end and I remineded him about a local sale last year of a B460 with crossover that he passed on for around $800 or BO. I was wondering if a pair of B380 would also be a good choice when he is ready to take the next step in upgrading his system. Space wise I think the B460 would fit the best in his listening room of roughly 16x24 with a high ceiling (14' +). Which JBL subwoofer would you recommend, one B460 or two B380?

I think two B460 also ok

I like stereo subs so if I had the room I would go for a pair of B380's. Just drop the 4311 right on top.

Too much is just right. Go for two B460s.

Seriously, two help to fill nulls and low bass can be localized by the frequencies above the bandpass.

Exactly! I can distinctly remember how much better life was when we added a second B212 to the L212 system waaaaay back in that era.

I've been watching this pair and thinking about Zilch's quick & dirty 4430's...

He's got 'em upside down, tho.

Trust the Zilchster.

[May have to make your own grilles and bases. No mention of them there, but the mount pins look intact....]

I'll vote for two B380's, if two B460's is out of the question.
