Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • You could even get a higher-end systems such as a Sony HT-A9 or Sony Quad with a wireless subwoofer like the SW5 to give you true spatial seperation.
  • You won’t be disappointed with the SW5, especially at the price. It’s an amazing sub, producing excellent bass range / power for varying room configurations.
  • I did not purchase sw3 but I used sw5 similar space you have, and it worked fine.
  • sw5 will do just fine your room size
  • I did like the big personality of the SW5.

Cons

  • The sw5 sub follows the same pricing as the rs5 rears and can also be found cheaper in a similar fashion, but It just doesn't give the boom boom pop some people likely expect. Its more of a sub with emphasis on dynamic range with the bass.
  • and we might also get an update to the sw5 this year

If you have a large space to fill, get the SW5, if not the SW3 will suffice.

I do have the sw5 also. They had a lot of soundstage, and take a bit of load off the bar for a more balanced experience.

If you have a large room the SW5 and RS5 are good otherwise they're overkill.
