Subwoofer Newbie Looking for Recommendations


I am considering trying a sub with my Magnepan 20.7's. I have two options that I am considering, REL Gilbraltor G-2 and the Paradigm Sub 1. Any thoughts on which subwoofer will work best with the 20.7's?

Also, do you run a stereo set of interconnects from your pre to the subwoofer inputs? If you use two subwoofers do you run a left interconnect to one and the right to the other?

I recently added a pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers, along with the MH-5P battery-biased crossovers, into my system that includes Magnepan 3.7 panels.

The difference was nothing short of astounding.

The Vandersteens do blend seamlessly; offloading the amp really opened the amp's capabilities; and the adjustable Q helps you dial in just the right amount of bass, ranging from very tight and controlled, to loose and thumpy. (Tight and controlled, for me.)
