Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20

I have a pair of Magnepan 20r’s. Have enjoyed them for years. In my room they go to about 30Hz, response way down at 25Hz.

I am experimenting with a pair of Janis subs. This gets the response to about 25 Hz then down a lot at at 20Hz. It adds a little something but not I am not bowled. over. I hear and feel a bit (in my chest) on some music.

I would like to hear about others have experience with adding subs to nearly full range speakers?

Did you feel you got your money’s worth for "a few silly Hz"?

Thanks

I use two Rythmik F12G with my Magnepan 3.7i's and have the crossover set at 60.  The coherence is pretty good, but there's a slight dip at around 70hz.

Duke really knows his stuff.  He came over to my apartment and we tried his SWARM system versus dual Rythmik F12G.  He helped me dial in my Rythmik subs and was very impressed with them.

imdoc, supposedly if you put subs behind the speakers, you'll have phase issues. You can, however, put subs in front of speakers and delay the phase, assuming the sub has phase control.
