Sub-woofer/ Source for MAgnepan MG 1.6s

I think it depends on the amp running the Maggies, that determines how much, and the quality of your bass response. Almost, or some would say more, important, is the room and the speaker placement in that room.

I always have used a sub with mine. The new REL T-series subs are great, very fast and musical, and reasonably priced.

Pro-Ject Debut III, LP player, Oppo Digital 980H multidisc.

my recommendations, good luck.

When I had 1.6's I bought a Velodyne DD12 and it rocked the house. Innersound ESL amp, and the Velodyne which set itself up to cross over at about 51hz if I remember correctly. It measured the 1.6's to about 44hz in my room, that was a great sub, and sounded great in that system. They are not cheap, but not that much more than a Vandy, which that replaced.
