I've owned maggies for 20 years and all of the above suggestions are very good. Before you try a sub, I would suggest bi-wiring with the largest high quality cable you can find for the low freq and then doubling it. Maggies will use all the power you can feed them and the cable can restrict this.
magnepan 1.6 needs help in the bass
i'm begiinning to believe that the amgnepan 1.6 needs some assistance in the bass, i.e., more extension.
i am concerned that mating a cone, especially ported or sealed box is a problem as far as maintaining overall coherency.
also, it may be necessary to have stereo rather than mono sub, which can get expensive.
i have thought about rel, hsu and kharma ?
i also thought about the best way to configure the sub, namely blending. i would run the 1.6s full range and then add bass up to say 60 hz.
any thoughts ?
