Best Subwoofer for Magnepan speakers


Greetings Audiophiles ! I would like your imput. My present system is composed of the following: 1. Conrad Johnson PF-R Pre-amp. 2. McIntosh MC-300 Power Amp. 3. Magnepan 3.5 Speakers. As everyone already knows, the maggies have a great soundstage (with a powerhouse amp) but are somewhat weak on the bass. So do I want a subwoofer with a built in amp or do I want to power one with a dedicated amp? What brand subwoofer? Budget around $1500.00
I really value all your opinions! Thanks Kyle

I feel you might be heading in the wrong direction by adding a sub. Your 3.5 can generate natural deep and massive bass notes with more powerful amps that are operating below the clipping line, Magnepans are like politicians they always need more good power.
