Sub-Woofer?


I've got a 'classic' system; Rega Planar 3, Sonographe SC1 pre-amp, Counterpoint SA12 amp and Cabasse Galiote bookshelf speakers.

I'd like richer bass and am planning to add a REL sub-woofer. I am looking at a T5 on Ebay. Any thoughts on this? Good idea? Bad one?  any caveats?

All input appreciated!

Using ESL speakers I needed to make sure any sub purchase would keep up with the speed of the speakers.  I recently ordered a pair of Rythmik servo F12Gs.  Couldn't be happier.

I cross them over at the bottom range of my speakers and I now have seamless integration that reaches into the teens. 

The subs arrived in less than a week after my order.  Two days of fiddling to get them right, and I now have exactly what I hoped for, bass without limits, no boom when it isn't called for, but full support when it is.  Symphonic classics are now a joy to behold.  Once you get concert hall realism nailed, jazz and rock fall right into place.

Regardless of what you pick, I do recommend getting two if you can.  They disappear this way.
