Sub or Subs to mate with Sonus Faber Amati Homage


I have a pair of Amati's that I am having a difficult time coaxing bass out of. This problem is mainly due to my listening room being 20 X 20. I have tried several amplifiers and different cables. These speakers are incredibly difficult to place, and my room dimensions make matters worse. I have considered Vandersteen,REL,Aerial, and Talon, but have no experience with any of these. If anyone has suggestions on these subs or any other subs, I really can't afford the big Rel Studio.Please help Thank you very much

Hi,

Can't help you with Sub recommendations, as I've never used one. I have owned the Amati for years, and used them successfully in large rooms (10000 cubic feet) and small rooms (13'x16'x9').

Bass in the cavernous loft was deep and tight. To optimize bass integration in the smaller room I raised the speakers a little higher in the front. About 1/2" to an 1" on the front spikes worked wonders.

Since they are so efficient (92db) none of your amps are a problem.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Tom
