Thanks for the input thus far. Any suggestions for a particular brand or model? Ported or Sealed? 8, 10 or 12 inch? I prefer accurate, tight bass without boominess. Will be 2 ch. music only.
Sub advice needed
Greetings All,
I am looking for suggestions on a subwoofer (brand/size).
System:
Line Magnetic (SET) 805ia amplifier
Mytek Brooklyn+ DAC
Bluesound Node streaming Tidal and FLAC ripped from CD's
Rega Planar 6 TT
Tannoy XT8F speakers
Music taste: 70-90's rock, prog rock, vocals
The room is rectangular at 16 feet long and 15 feet wide. No room treatments.
NOTE: Amplifier does not have a sub out.
Budget is $1-3k.
My concerns are:
1. timing issues with adding another speaker affecting imaging/soundstage etc.
2. Remote volume control on the sub since different songs may need different amount of sub?
I can place the sub in any area of the room.
I also read on this forum somewhere about the pros and cons of connecting subwoofer to speaker outputs, but can't seem to find the thread, nor do I recall it ending with an answer if it can potentially cause amplifier problems or not.
Tips and good advice are welcome.
