Never but never use a sub with magnepan i have all mine live magnepan the mg20 the 3.7 the lrs and now the 1.7i. magnepan have the most natural instrumental low you can imagine. The most people wants a pump low and thats full the complete room thats the most wrong low you can get. There is a video at youtube from wendell he explains exact what bass must shoot be. The amp is the most important equipment with magnepan there it go's wrong in the most times.
Maggies and subwoofer integration
I'm running a Schiit Saga+ into a B@K EX 422 Sonata, into MG-1 maggies. Wanted to add a subwoofer, and was wondering if by just using the second output on the Saga+ to the line level input of the Velodyne Sub I have, would just be adding bass heft to the MG-1's, as there's no built in crossover in the Saga+?
I would optimally want the Sub to takeover from around 60HZ, and aleviate the bass duties of the maggies.
Would it be a waste of time and no real benefit? Would running the signal from the B@K directly to the subwoofer be any different regarding the delineation of the frequency duties?
Thanks in advance for your help.
