Good digging — yes, there is a very strong contender that approaches the “best of both worlds” for your subwoofer: the Buchardt Audio SUB10. Let’s evaluate how it stacks up relative to the goals we set (i.e., combining speed/control like the SB-2000 Pro with the deeper output/power of the SB-3000) and whether it meets “that ideal” for your system.

* Size: relatively compact (490 x 330 x 160 mm) and lightweight (~14 kg) for what it offers. hifipilot.de<ref>{{cite web|title=hifipilot.de|url=https://www.hifipilot.de/?a=983&lang=eng|publisher=hifipilot.de|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref>
* Integrates wirelessly via WiSA with other speakers/transmitters.

==== ### ====
* It goes deep (to ~16-20 Hz), which is rare in compact sealed designs. That covers the deep-bass strength of the “3000” idea.
* It has respectable peak power (1200 W peak) for a “reasonably sized” unit.
* WiSA wireless integration means you won’t have audio signal cable clutter.
* DSP and control features give you tuning flexibility (good for matching to your satellites and room).

===== - Sealed enclosure = good transient response, speed, control. =====
* Smaller footprint means it can integrate more cleanly with refined mains (like your choice of premium WiSA satellites).
* The balance of deep yet controlled bass makes it better for high-resolution, detail-oriented listening (which you emphasised with the Piega route).

===== - The SB-3000 has significantly more output/headroom for very loud levels and larger rooms. While the SUB10 is impressive, it is still in a more “compact high-performance” category rather than “monster cinema subwoofer.” =====
* If you push extremely high SPL in a large room (>30 m²) with big dynamic peaks (movies, effects), the SUB10 might run out of headroom a little sooner than an SB-3000.
* While the specs are excellent, they are manufacturer claims; actual measured SPL at ~16 Hz may be lower than the most extreme subs under large room/large volume conditions.

==== Given your parameters: ====
* Listening distance ~ 2.6–3 m
* You have premium satellite speakers (you’re leaning toward “first place” style: audiophile clarity + excellent detail)
* You want a 5.1 setup in a living room (not a huge auditorium)
* Sound quality/precision is extremely important, but you also still want deep bass and movie impact

Yes — the Buchardt SUB10 is a very strong candidate that arguably gives you the best of both worlds: decent depth + high precision, wireless integration with WiSA, and good tuning flexibility. It seems more than “reasonable” for your scenario.

In fact, for your room size and usage the SUB10 may be a smarter match than grabbing the larger SB-3000 (which might have more headroom than you need and might cost more, take up more space). The SB-2000 Pro still remains an excellent choice, but the SUB10 is arguably a step up without going to the full “monster” sub territory.

==== For your chosen satellites (e.g., Piega Ace 30 + Ace Center + matching wireless bookshelf surrounds) I would recommend the Buchardt SUB10 as the best subwoofer choice satisfying both precision and depth given your room and goals. ====

If you are willing to spend more and have space and want “ultimate” headroom (just in case you go especially loud or upgrade the room) then the SB-3000 remains the top extreme.

But if I was picking one sub for your exact scenario:
➡️ Go with the Buchardt SUB10.

If you like, I can fetch a full spec-comparison table (SUB10 vs SB-2000 Pro vs SB-3000) and show you exactly how the numbers differ (depth, output, speed metrics, cost, size) so you can make a fully informed decision. Would you like that?
