Looking for a small dedicated subwoofer to pair with my JBL LSR305 5" Active Studio Monitors. Any recommendations?

That's not full retard son, that's just having a fun surround setup for gaming. Full retard is doing what I do: Having a great sound system and still updating it . I'm seriously looking at getting some of these.
150w to a tweeter and 600w to a 7" driver lol.
How do I stop the popping on computer startup and when it wakes up from sleep? My old speakers done it too but these are louder. Any way?
I have a SVS cylinder in the next room. Going to roll it in here for the hell of it...
That's peak power, they don't deliver that much sustained. The amps have a lot of headroom for big transients. They do have quite powerful amps though, 270 watts on the woofer 50 watts on the tweeter for pink noise. Well built drivers with lots of excursion, and an overspec amp system. They are high end monitors.
Lots of excursion necessary to offset the too-small box, but the question is how much do they distort? What would the BL vs excursion plot look like? My guess is those things are more about quantity of sound than quality.
Driving a lot of power out of a small size also requires lots of power and large voice coils which is actually kinda good for lower frequencies but hurts higher frequency production.
If these things do sound good, it's only gonna be on-axis. Which is fine in some setups.
You could go look at their page, which has distortion graphs and specs, or you could go and look at any of the reviews, which call them one of the finest studio monitors ever made.
...or, you could just keep hating on them for no apparent reason, and with no information.
You need to readjust your definition of 'hate' because it is waaaay off.
I should go full retard and pick up 3 more 305's for a full 5.1 setup.
Thanks for all of the info!
