Listeners who are using Dynamic Subwoofer(s) with Magnepan Speakers

I am considering purchasing a pair of Magnepan speakers. I'm not sure what model. I currently am listening to dynamic speakers with a Dynaudio Sub 600 subwoofer with nice results. After reading up on how to connect the DWM to my system it doesn't look feasible although I would like to speak to a tech at Magnepan. 

Is there anyone out there who is pairing Magnepan speakers with a dynamic subwoofer or subwoofers with good or otherwise results. I've heard that timing issues can occur with that combination.

Thank you for your input!

Hey my friend,

I can see in your case why a subwoofer is a good idea. I wrote an article which includes information on how to get great results from a sub. I will say this: It takes work. The integration with the speaker and the room are not straightforward.

From my experience, it's not that panels and dynamics have speed issues. It is that panels couple to the room a lot easier than dynamics. Properly set up, a single sub woofer is just as "fast" and transparent as any panel.
