Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs


Hello all - was wondering if anyone can recommend a sub pairing that is commensurate with my Harbeth 40.3 XDs ...? I love it loud. Looking for tight , punchy thump from the kick drum that sounds like arena PA ...🥳 

my system : 

Manley Snappers , Manley Jumbo Shrimp Pre

 

Some of these Subs like the REL S/812 seemed kinda pricey....an Emminence $250 speaker in a shiny powered cabinet doesn’t seem worth $3200?

 

Thanks!

I can’t really comment on the 40.3’s but I did sub my SHL5+’s. Two B&W ASW-610 subs directly underneath definitely did the trick. It took a little while to hone them in but it seriously added the punch you so desire. For the 40’s you may want to size up a little. Since my Mac C2700 allows for additional outputs I activated a second output and can turn them on or off at will. Most of the time I leave them on but there are a few Lp’s and especially CD’s out there where the bottom end is pretty enhanced already. Best of luck.

Try a pair of these on for size with your Harbeth 40.3's...Dude, your sound will jump to the next level.
