Speaker choice, help please.
KhokugoAs far as the sub question goes. It depends on your taste.Some of these single drivers benefit from the addition of a subwoofer or subwoofers. There are a few that work well without a sub. The Bob Brines FT-2000s get down around 30 Hz. The ...

Gotcha Steve as I said SOME. LOLNo doubt the transformer and op amps upgrades make a significant difference. Having the whole package upgrade sure doesn't hurt. For me it would be like having the cereal without the milk.YMMV

Some of what you describe is definitely the Super Clock 3s doing. It really opens the sound up on some of these units..no doubt about it.Have fun!

Lowther Bass Reflex and Subwoofers
I've been reading the 2.5 I has a in room response down to roughly 40 Hz.... Minus 3 or 4 dB. Your subwoofer crossover may actually be set a little too high at 60 hz. Just a thought.With patience it will come together for you.Good luck! 
Lowther Bass Reflex and Subwoofers
Try running your subwoofer 180 degress out of phase. Also you may want to check the volume of the subwoofer with a SPL meter to see if you have it set too high.You should not be able to locate that sub in the room when it's set properly.

Depending on your listening taste and room size. Another vote for the Fostex based speakers! Omegas are a great option also the Brines Acoustics FB-16 could be a contender. The FT-1600 MkII is also a option if you want something closer to fullrang...
