Before going to a subwoofer, make sure you have tried the Maggies with a powerful amp (at least 350 watts into 4 ohms). It really does make a difference. (My amps are 600 wpc). You didn't mention which Maggies you have. My MG1.6 are really good to 40 Hz or so, and there is not a lot of music that needs lower.

That said, I do have an elaborate subwoofer system, but depending on your musical tastes it might be overkill for you. Try the big amp first.

The MG 1.6 bass is significantly better than older Magneplanar models, and does not deserve the same "no bass" reputation. (But they are still power hungry).
