Velodyne DD12 is also good. It is not perfect and there are tradeoffs. I have mine 3 1/2 ft away from backwall but I find 5 ft better ( when family situation allows.) Would say 3 ft is minimal. Try sound treatment, too.
Best sub for Quad 988
I thoroughly enjoy my Quad 988 esl loudspeakers - extremely accurate reproduction of sound. The one thing I think I could improve on is the lack of bass dynamics.
Now I'm not talking about the sound of those annoying 'boom cars' or even the feel-my-shirt-ripple movie theater sound -- I'm talking about the accurate reproduction of drum dynamics you hear at a live music session (the instrument, not the amplification).
Thus, is there a sub that can reproduce acuate unbloated sound that can keep up with the Quad 988?
