I tried SVS, Klipsch, ELAC 10" subs, with no convincing results. I ended up with the Martin Logan Dynamo 700
Small, Effective Subwoofers?
In a recent speaker thread that I started there were lots of suggestions of adding a couple of subwoofers to my system. As with my speakers (Legacy Signature SEs) I have little room to place subwoofers They will need to go directly to the left or directly to the right of the main speakers. To the left the maximum height would be 12". 12’ would be great on the outside as well, but I could squeeze a slightly bigger unit in there. Would two 12" subs be sufficient here, or would they be too small for this set up?
If 12’ is OK, do you all have any reasonably priced suggestions as did @nevada_matt withe his 2-10 offering from Tekton. I would have never found those on my own, thanks Matt!
I would be super open to some used subs as a cost savings measure here.

@grislybutter - this is good to know! Thank you |
Looked at photos of your space and will be interested in responses from here out because to me, your room isn’t useable for serious listening. Your speakers are against the wall with a large loveseat blocking the right speaker. A glass wall is to the left of the listening position and an open room to the right. Glass table is also a disaster for the sound. I think that you pick up a pair of small RELs and place them inside your speakers, but if possible, I would move the one loveseat and table out of the room. Move speakers away from walls and listen in near field. Figure out how in a decorative way you can absorb the first reflection before it reaches the glass. Subs go against or close to rear wall. It looks like a lovely view through the windows. I’m guessing that the only solution that will be accepted is to leave everything as is and add two small subwoofers..back to your original question.
