Can we start a thread for folks who run a SET amp with a subwoofer or two?

I moved down a pathway that was an offshoot from the mainstream of this hobby-a single end triode 300b amp.  So what I got with a SET was more than I gave up.  But bass lacking can be tough to live with. A brought in a couple of subs that took CONSIDERABLE tuning experiments, measurements, and ultimately following my ear.  

Who has experimented or uses a subwoofer or sub bass condiment with a low powered SET amp?

If you have excellent SET amp like Line Magnetic 508 or Silbatone, then you can get tight and powerful bass out of SET.

Or you can try Arion Apollo system which can be driven by 3W SET amp with 105 db/W supplemented by subwoofer.
