Subwoofer for Magnepan 1.6?


I have a pair of Magnepan 1.6's on order and am thinking of adding a subwoofer. I'm going to set them up in a small room and my musical taste is skewed more toward vocals and chamber music rather than rock at high levels. I'd appreciate hearing of successes or failures in matching the two.

I like the Sunfire mk 2 with my MMG's. You just have to point the passive radiator toward the corner (usually it'll be right against one room corner, behind the speakers), turn the volume on the sub way down, adjust phase (takes listening and testing for quite a while), set crossover to about 40 Hz, and you're done. Using it in the 12x15 foot converted bedroom with the Maggies is very fun, and with proper ASC treatment, is better than many speakers costing between $10,000 and $20,000. Cheers...
