Subwoofer for classical music listener


This is my second post on the subject of subwoofers.
My first post wasn't specific enough.
I listen to classical music 90% of the time.
Are there any classical music listeners out there who have subwoofers?
if there are, could you let me know what you have?
i don't imagine I would need quite as powerful or expensive a sub as those who mainly listen to other types of music, but I may be wrong.

What are your main speakers? What is your budget? How big is your listening room? What electronics are you using? It would be helpful with some of that information!

FYI: The SVS SB-2000 is not ported. I've owned the SB-1000 and I think you will like the SVS!

@ rvpiano
Are you sure you are hooking it up correct? Are you using two y connectors ? Also you are not using the high pass filter option if you are using it that way!
If you want to try the high pass filter, you run a pair of IC’s from the preamp output to the input of the sub, then another pair of IC’s from the output of the sub to the input of your amp. You might like that hookup better!

If you look at the manual page 7&9 it shows how to use the high pass filter. The manual should point out that you don’t use y adapters when using the high pass filter. You go from the preamp out to the sub in then from the sub out to the amp in . You will need two pairs of IC’s to do this. That manual should explain this!

I think a 2nd SB2000 would do the trick. It would not be a good idea to use two different subs!
