Thanks mofojo - I should be specific in saying also that I am interested solely in music and making my 2 channel system a 2.1 system. Integration and musicality is absolutely the most important thing to me instead of earth rumbling base. That said I'll certainly taking a look at JL but I've heard REL is typically better for home theater applications. Anyone out there go down the Dyn Sub road? I've also heard that the Golden Ear SuperSub X might be comparable - any thoughts with my system in mind? Once again thanks all!
Dynaudio Sub 6 vs Sub 18s vs Sub 3 with Special 40s
Hi all,
I have a pair of Special 40s hooked up to a NAIM Supernait 2 and I'm looking to find the best bang for my buck upgrade to the sound. Through some research (and feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken) it seems adding a subwoofer to the mix might be just the thing. Naturally I thought of Dynaudio's lines first to mate with the Special 40s. I have some questions though.
First, the Sub 6s are a bit pricey and somewhat hard to find - but the 18s really is widely available still and more affordable. I understand they are the same minus the specific DSP settings and finish quality which I do not care about. My question - is it worth it to splurge on the Sub 6 just for the DSP match to the Special 40s? My understanding is given the Supernait 2 setup I might not even really be able to get the full benifits of the DSP considering I am planning on using the Sub-out from the NAIM and essentially run full signal to both the speakers and the Sub.
There's also the Sub 3 (or 9s) to consider but I'm not sure it will have the right amount of power/weight to make a difference in my medium size living room (10' x 18' approx).
Any other ideas for Subwoofers or upgrades considering I think I want to keep with the speakers and amplification setup for now?
All ideas/input are warmly appreciated - Cheers!
