Sort of accidentally won a bid on another B380 and BX63A on that auction site the other day. I had just gotten my single 380 dialed in with my L220's as much as I could. Everyone here is right; setting up a single sub is friggen tough. I had originally set my single just inside my left main and it left something to be desired in my listening position. But like everyone says, the best location for a single is not ever possible if it's a common room. Luckily, my wife is a real sport about my seemingly weekly speaker rodeo. I moved it to the left wall to side fire and that definitely made an improvement. After I received my second yesterday, I moved both just inside my mains and hooked up the new BX63A to replace my standard BX63 and all I can say is wow. I was powering my single with a bridged Crown PS-400 for about 550 watts and I was living at level 5 on the BX but with the pair, I had to throw my backup JBL 6290 in the rack. I know they're slightly underrated at 300 watts but I've had to turn my level down to about 3-4. I'm looking for a Crown K2 as a permanent solution but funds aren't available at this time. It feels sacrilegious to power my subs with less than my mains (using Bryston 7BST's with the mains) but the bass is awesome! That damn fan though... I'm not true stereo subs but this is definitely the way to go. The single was great but this is better than twice as good!
