Have you listened to any of the subs from paragidm? They might do exactly what you are looking for. Also, I think you can throw the X-30 crossover from paradigm in front of the sub using the line out on the preamp. That might be redundant though, I'm not sure that is the best idea. Try running your 20's full range with a sub, you might like the results. I've had three pairs of studio 20's and have always run them full range. Another sub to look into would be a Sunfire True sub from Bob carver. A small little brick, but if set up properly, can sound pretty amazing.
bass management with integrated amp
I have a classe cap-101 integrated amp driving paradigm studio 20's v.3. I'm missing the bottom octave and would like to work a sub into my system. I'd also like to use some kind of crossover to relieve my smallish speakers from the lower end of the signal. My problem is that I can't figure out any way to do this, since my integrated can be used as a pre, but not as an amp (pre-outs, but no pre-ins). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, I would like your suggestions for musical subs in the same price range as my speakers and integrated.
Wish I had found a'gon sooner, bought my gear used, and thought ahead...
Thanks!
