VERTEK of Grass Valley,Ca makes unique subs for every combo on earth.He built one for me for my MAGNEPAN TYMPANI using two eights and a 250 watt rms mosfet amp that is just amazing in being so seemless.

Parts express Titanic 10" sealed sub is what I have had for 10 years fed through line level out from my preamp. Blends very well with my MMGs. $400 kit or $580 assembled. The kit is easy. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=300-760 |
John, Not sure what you intended to say, but ... I'll stand by my main point - precise level matching and smooth FR around the x-over frequency are critical to matching panels (or other speakers, for that matter) with subs and - IME - that's most easily achieved with Digital Room Correction software. I understand that some will disagree, but my post reflects my own experience. As to the "I suspect", that qualifier explained the lack of a specific recommendation... kinda like "try two sealed 8" woofers". I know that you're a dealer (I was a customer when Hart owned the store and I bought a pair Cary 805s from you), but dismissing the previous comments as speculative and offering nothing more on point to the OP isn't particularly helpful...or gracious.

IME, the issue w/MMGs and subs is optimizing the integration of the subs and the panels. It's tricky and IMHO depends on the getting x-over done properly as much as choosing the particular sub. If you have an Audyssey (or equivalent) equipped pre-pro, you're golden, and you have a wide array of subwoofer choices that would, I suspect, work pretty well. If you do not, you might look at the Velodyne DD subs, which include their own integration software. It's a PITA (because the auto set-up sucks and it consequently requires endless manual tweaking for best results), but...if you're willing to spend the time to get it right... it works well. Good Luck Marty |
