I wanted to post a shot of my IDEA Sub connected directly from my PassLabs XA25 amp in parallel with my PMC Twenty26 using Western Electric speaker shielded cables by TimePortal. Anyway the package of one sub and PMC sound wonderful. I couldn’t believe the results. The PMC stopped chuffing and the bass balanced beautifully. Using the sub crossover and level allows to customize to meet track needs. I’ve never looked back. Thought of trying other subs. This one is a 10” active and passive dual design. Works a treat. My bottom line? Experiment.
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
The subwoofer can of worms.
I’d like to add some bass to my otherwise fine 2 speaker setup and have limited space so perhaps a single 10in?
After a few weeks of research the only conclusion I can come up with is - everyone agrees they have to be setup properly. Every brand and technology has their own following and most recommend using 2 (which I don’t want due to space concerns). My room is 12 x 13 ft with box raised ceiling.
After much research, these are the subwoofers I’m trying to pick from, for various reasons:
Rythmik FM8 - lots of hifi fans
JL audio e110 - fantastic support
REL T/9i - sort of a gold standard
KEF R400b - interesting technology, makes me grin.
I've never heard any of these.
System:
Hegel H160
SF Concerto speakers on stands.
