Muse 18 sub: comments?


I am in the market for at least 1, possibly stereo, sub(s). I have read only limited reviews of the Muse 18 sub, would like some real world comments from owners re/sound, how sub is hooked up, etc. Also, I have been unable to find a website for Muse. If you know of one, please let me know.

I have had Muse 18 for 7 years mated w/Martin Logan cls iiz. Very very good product,fast enough to be a good match for electrostatic speakers,included 200 watts amp allows user to select a better quality(tube?)less powerful amp for the satellites.One unit is enough unless you have a very large room.Personalized cards are available from the company to better mate with your speakers.Reaches low 20's with low distortion,can play fairly loud.You can adjust volume, damping,phase.Like any other speaker the most critical thing to obtain best results is to try many different positions in the room with the help of a 20Hz-20KHz CD(Stereophile cd test 1 for example)and an inexpensive Radio Shack sound meter located exactly in the position where the center of the head is,in the listening chair.You'll be amazed at the difference in frequency response you get by moving it/them a few inches left/right or back/front.Try not to put the sub in the corner where you think you get the most bass because most often that is where you get also most standing waves and heavy bass.Your interconnect cable from the preamp into the sub.Another interconnect cable from the sub to the power amp. It's that simple.I hope to have been of help.
