I appreciate your question. I am considering the 1.6 and have a friend/dealer who will let me borrow a pair for a week. Before I put him to the trouble I want to know more and your question is my question. I am using the Hsu VTF-3R mark 2 in my large room and between that and my Dynaudio floorstanders I am used to bass flat to 20 Hz and -3 dB to 16 Hz. Because the price of the 1.6 is so reasonable, I could get another Hsu sub. I anxiously await responses!
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 ?
