>it will go in the living room,

That opens a whole new can of worms...

From my journey through the sub rabbit hole I remember people agreeing that a nice set of big 3-way towers beats any bookshelf + sub combo in terms of music in living rooms. Subs are just too tricky. On the other hand, if you're after home cinema experience you generally go with biggest boom possible (you want to go beyond 20 Hz) on multiple ported subs for proper coverage and SPL levels. Like at least double SVS PB-2000.

Crazy stuff. Near field is way easier and cheaper.

Totally this! What held me back (and still does) is that a change of venue is coming in the next couple of years so I'm considering the addition of a sub as a possible intermediate solution for a sound upgrade. Also, as this falls more in the 'nice to have' than the 'absolutely need to have' category for me, I'm internally debating about buying nothing now and upgrading my budget for later.

Well, choices choices I guess!
