Subwoofers

I used the Maggie MMG Bass panel with my MMG's a few years back and while I'm a fan of Maggies I can't say that I found anything gainfully enjoyable with it in place. 

First of all the additional wiring was something I was trying to avoid. I eventually used a small 8 inch Rel which did the proverbial trick. Rel and Maggie usually make a good match. 

I just purchased a pair  of the new .7 Maggies after auditioning them alongside the 1.7i's. I may have avoided adding a sub with the 1.7i's but to my ears the .7's struck my ears as a better overall speaker - subjective as that may be. And I saved about $700 for that decision. 

The .7's are as articulate as any speaker I've owned, but a sub is definitely required as the listening room in the store was more near field than where I have my stereo in my home. 

I'll be going Rel again.  

Actually I've decided to go with a Rythmik L12 sub based upon some of the reviews I've read. $539 shipped for free.  

I've been using the Rythmik L12 sub for about a week now and so far I find it very close to what I liked about my Rel.  Although this doesn't have the neutrik connects like the Rel - a very easy hookup - it integrated into my system easily enough. 

Im still tweaking the crossover point and playing with the positioning, but this is a very well made sub, especially for $539 - you can spend the same at a big box store and get far less for your dough.
