Thinking I need a Sub...


I have some Nola Boxers that sound awesome but some of my favorite music has some fairly deep synthesized bass. At times, I hear the driver distorting and 'doubling over' is that the term?

So, my local high-end shop sells REL subs and I like the idea. I've been thinking of the T-7 or the R-218...

Advise would be great. I have McIntosh MC-60 amps and an Audio Research LS-3...and use an NAD CD player.

B-limo, check out my posts re Tom Tutay's impedance buffer. This little piece of kit enables me to use a single self-powered sub. Of course my sub has fine tuning controls which enable me to adjust phase alignment, cut-off frequency and loudness. I fiddle from time to time with the fine tuning controls, but always wind up coming back to the same place.

Now Wolf ...., you just posted something about "substers, or sub-heads" using subs to "energize" their sound rooms. A slight correction if I may -- and sorry to quibble. I use my sub to **pressurize** my sound room when I'm not listening to my system in a hyperbaric chamber. When I go hyperbaric, I use an oxygen mask. Doesn't everyone???
