I have a pair of Gallo 3.1 speakers. The bass reproduction is adequate. I do not use their amp (SA3). They say for best bass reproduction use their amp. I can't afford shelling out $700. Is there another amp in the $250 price range I can sub?
You need to be able to apply some bass management. Perhaps another option (out of the box) is to use an Emotiva preamp with sub out (and use a regular power amp to drive the second coil.
I understand what you're saying about the $700. But some of us are married to a women that would be happy with a $500 of the rack surround system. She thinks my system is fine and I'm battling with her to get anything to upgrade my system.
I have a Crowson stereo amp with an LPF that is designed for their shakers/tactile transducers but they aren't that cheap either. $700 for the Gallo unit IMHO isn't too expensive for something designed specifically for it.
The other option I can think of is the Earthquake shaker amp (about 400 bucks?)
