Best subwoofer below 40Hz for Magnepan .7?


The title says it all! I want subwoofer bass below Magnepan's limit of 40 Hz. Magnepan will not recommend any but their own model, which does not extend beyond 40 Hz and are not true subwoofers. What subwoofers will work with my .7s?   Thanks for the personal and meaty responses on this forum!

How large is your room and what kind of music do you listen to that has such low tones?   Those bottom frequency waves are mighty long.  :)

FWIW, As an experiment, I picked up a pair of very inexpensive Andrew Jones 8" Pioneer subs. Frequency response starts about 40hz. They took at least 200 hours to break-in, and a few hours of experimentation as to placement, but they work surprisingly well with my .7’s. I wanted to find out if subs were even viable in my listening environment and were at least relatively compatible with the Maggies before I spent more money on a pair of better subs w/ room correction, which now will likely be my next step.

Overall, I’m pretty amazed at how good my rig sounds.
