What to do in my situation...


I'm using some older equipment and have Alon II MK2 speakers and an Acurus DIA-150 Integrated amp driving them. I generally like the sound quality, but would like a little more bottom end. I've read good reviews about the bass qualities on the Alons, so I'm wondering if I just need more power to drive them or if a separate subwoofer would be a better solution?

The problem with the DIA-150 is that there are no line outs to drive another amp or a subwoofer, so if I went the subwoofer route, I'd have to use the high-level outs. Is this a bad solution sound-wise? Anyone had success pairing a sub with the Alons using high-level outs?

The Alons are bi-ampable, but again since there are no line outs, I don't think there's another way to add an amp to this setup that wouldn't involve a large cash outlay?

The REL sub setup might work but I would consider attention to room acoustics and speaker/listener placement first. Bass from these speakers is pretty good.
KR4 - Thanks, do you think the 150 is enough power for the Alons? At low to mid volume levels it just doesn't have much low-end punch.

Ahendler - Can you explain? Maybe I'm just being dense, but if there aren't any line out jacks (other than the tape monitor out), how will a "Y" help? Or will that work with the tape monitor outs?
He said he has "NO" line outs, therefore what's he connecting a Y adaptor to? Ahendler obviously misread your post.
Alon speakers have excellent bass ... what type of music are you listening to or are you looking for "home theater bass"?? It is also possible your room is too big for the speakers.
