Add a subwoofer?
I run a pair of Cornwall 1’s driven by primaluna, VPI, and Sutherland 20/20. Room is 34 x14 x 14 high. I love the Klipsch, but never felt like they were overly heavy bass. I’m curious about a subs ability to “fill in” the sound. I called a dealer regarding REL’s smaller products. I was told that the Cornwall has huge bass and I’d need a very large sub to notice a difference. Really can’t afford a quality big subwoofer. ie thousands of dollars. Not wanting thumping bass, just fuller sound. No experience with subwoofers so, ,,,,
Thanks for your input.
I would add an active crossover to what ever sub you choose. It is as important as the sub (more so IMO). this apologue model from Sublime acoustics is only $600. I use the K235 that adds balanced inputs/outputs for $1,100 but the units are 95% the same. In my system (McIntosh/JBL 4367) is it transparent with no loss of detail to my ear and no added hiss. https://sublimeacoustic.com/products/k231-stereo-3-way-active-crossover

Larger subs just have more output but not needed for normal listening volume. Unlike most on this forum I am not a rel fan. Too much cost for not enough low output imo. For myself I like very large subs. HSU gets good reviews (and measurements) but are huge. If you have the space it might be an option. Rythmic is another good buy. |
