Musical subwoofer for under 1K

hey shawn, there's another one yust came up here f/s - better nab it - ya need two for stereo... ;~)

regards, doug

i'd suggest getting a pair, if mainly for music - *every* aspect of subwoofing improves, & *every* possible negative re: integrating w/your main speakers is minimized, when using *two* subs, imho...

i'd suggest, based upon your room size, a pair of vmps original subs, a marchand deluxe xm-9 x-over, and the best used solid-state amp ewe can find/afford. while the cost will exceed $1k, it should still be under $1500, & it will be *really* something! :>)

regards, doug

i can agree w/sugarbrie that the hsu tn1220 is good (still gotta get two, imo!), but i prefer the vmps...

mitch, imho, the best connection is from preamp to a hi-quality active x-over, w/signal above x-over point going to the amp(s) driving the m-l's; and the low frequencies going to the amp driving the subs. an alternate would be to yust x-over the subs & run the m-l's full-range. any reasonably-priced powered subs' electronics will muck-up the sound of the m-l's much more than a decent active x-over, imo...
