magnepans with a sub???


Has anybody tried using maggies with a good sub via a crossover? I used to own some maggies. Loved the sound, but I couldn't drive them to any realistic SPL. I added a sub, and got the bass, but still couldn't get them to a satisfying SPL. I thought if I could could cross them with a good quality sub via a good quality crossover, I may be able to drive them to more realistic levels. Anybody got any thoughts or suggestions?
In advance, thanks!!!

Hi Louisl, I have a VT100 MkIII with magnepan 3.7s. There is simply not enough power. While the VT100 sounds very good with the 3.7s when you want crank it up there is just not enough power. I have since update amplifiers to a Krell 302. This combination sings. With Magnepans you need 300 to 600 watts minimum....
