Sub for Merlin TSM-MX's


Anyone have ideas for a sub for my Merlins? I would like to keep it under $1k if possible. I know REL (used) and probably HSU but wondered about others.

Thanks!

I have a pair of MXe on order and will be using with a filharmonia from bobby. Can't wait to hear the combo!
arj, the e versions sound quite a bit fuller and wider in bandwidth.
that is why i recommended him to get the upgrade done first and then see what he thinks.
best,

A quality sub for under $1K that mates well with Merlin TSMs? Consider a REL Strata III. My Merlins are mated to one and I have quite satisfied with it.

There's even a "brand new" one up for auction right now. (I am not associated with the seller or item being sold.)
The reason I asked the question was, I did find a Sub useful when I used to run my merlins with a sugden A21, but the moment i upgraded my amp to a leben CS600, the bass just improved and I did not need it anymore.

But if a sub is needed i would recomend a good Sealed box sub..a REL strata is great and so is an MJ acoustics Ref 100

Bobby, I changed my speaker setup to a corner placement and i find the Bass very tuneful and controlled so the placement factor also needs to be considered.
