Subwoofer for Magnepan 1.6's


I have a pair of Magnepan 1.6's, connected to a McCormack DNA 1 amp and tlc1 preamp. Eventually I will be incorporating them into a surround system, using the Arcam AVR 300. I am looking for a good subwoofer to go with the Maggies. I have a small listening room 11 x 14 and don't like boomy bass. I have heard good things about the Rel 3 and Vandersteen subs.

If you are looking for a great sounding affordable sub without breaking the bank, try the Onix Rocket by Av123.com
/Perpetual Technologies. It comes complete with the room calibration and mic. set-up in a well made, compact, and attractive enclosure. They offer a 30 day free home trial as well. It sells for under $500 and comes in a number of different finishes. It blends very well with faster speakers like the Maggies. I have been very happy with it in my small system, paired with my 3A MM DeCappo i's. It gets down quite deep to 24hz, but does not overwhelm the room with too much boomy, uncontrolled bass like many of the more powerful home theater subs. The automatic room calibration is quite effective at removing the resonant bass peak in my room.
