I use Rhythmik subs with MMGs (rotated with Ohm 100 omnis). I’m 100% pleased with the pairing. However, I use an Audyssey equipped pre-pro as a preamp. I know that some will reject this idea on principle, but IMO it’s the easy, sure fire way to get seamless integration between planar/omni speakers and subs.
Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp?
I'd like to offload the bass below 50hz to a subwoofer through a crossover placed between pre amp and amp; believe this will (a) help with stabilizing the Prima Luna amp by eliminating low bass clipping (b) remedy the lack of weight in the low bass with Magnepan 1.7's. Has anyone found a combination they liked for around $2k? I've seen Vandersteen 2WQ's mentioned, I suppose separate amp/crossover TBD with Magnepan DWM panels are another path. My main concern is a clean merge of the subwoofer with the SQ of the Magnepans
