Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I called Rick Reimer (who built my speakers) to ask this same question, and he said he will build a subwoofer for me (tuned to match my speakers and using the same veneers for the cabinet). He does not advertise them on his website, but will custom build them for customers. And, his price was very reasonable!
Subwoofer recommendations for this system?
I am in the process of seting up a new system:
Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 CDP with all upgrades
Bottlehead Foreplay preamp
Wright Audio 2A3 monoblocks (3.5 watts)
Reimer McCullough speakers (+/-3db 42 to 20 khz, 94dB efficient)
Room size is 15x20 ft with a cathedral ceiling sloping from 10-18 ft, and opening into a very large and high hallway. I listen to many styles of music, but mostly jazz (both acoustic and electric). This room can quickly become "boomy" with too much volume or too much bass, but the Reimers alone do not provide enough low end.
I am looking for a very musical subwoofer that will fill in the lower octaves, and integrate seamlessly. There is no home theater requirement. Budget is $1000 max.
Thanks in advance
Jim
