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.

hi, it's not an easy thing to do right, unlike dynamic speakers, wich when proper equipment is used can sound quite good and "real"...the ribbon is an extremely fast driver...i have had the 3.5r in the past with a pair of large vmps subs and a bryston xo.....i could get close but never quite like it should....your case would be of greater challenge....simply because you would have to cross slightly higher than i did(40hz@12db)....you might consider a pair of sue subs with a pair of paradim xo30....it's a kicking value......and it has the adjustable phase....the phase adjustment is of extreme importance....well good luck..rehan
