get a pair of vmps larger subs, a marchand *deluxe* 24db/octave x-over, & a pair of hi-power used amps, like the adcom 555's, rotels, parasounds, mondials, brystons, etc. even if the subs-n-crossover are bought new, ya won't spend over $3k, let alone $4k. the marchand x-over lets you experiment w/(inexpensive) plug-in x-over frequency modules, so ewe can get it right for you, & it's transparent enuff so it *won't* muck-up the sound of yer monitors. it'll actually help, as they won't have to work below whatever frequency they're x'd over at...
Sub-woofer to go with WATT3/Puppy2
Question1: What sub-woofer would be recommended for the above speakers for use in the following systems: - Audio Research LS5mk3 / LS16 pre - Krell FPB200 amp The speakers are just too dry in the bass and the bottom octave is not fully there. I want to avoid buying WA own sub (the WHOW). Budget max $4000. I consider building it since I have good skills of woodwork and electronics. Question2: what would the recommended cut.off frequency be (and x-over order), if I don't cut the input to the WATT/Puppy? Many thanks
