FAST, LOW RESONANCE subwoofer to go with Dynaudio Confidence 5?


Hi! I've recently purchased a pair of Dynaudio Confidence 5.

I enjoy them very much, except their bass is a bit shy. I've tried many amps, including Mcintosh monster amps (>1000wpc) and the frequency response stays the same. In my room it is the shape of a flat hill. Low frequency is rolled off of about 5-10db.

The quality of the bass is extremely good ------ However the quantity is just too little.
I tried my friend's REL T7i --- and played around with position, direction, all settings with my MiniDSP measuring mic. I got the best out of it in my current room --- but still doesn't integrate with the Dyn's bass, I think the C5 really have one of the cleanest and fastest bass in the world.

Are there any other subwoofers that would go well with them? apparently Dyn's own sub such as sub 3 and sub 6 would be a good bet but I just want to see if anyone knows another option, thanks all

Hi, TBI subwoofers are an excellent choice for clean fast bass. I used to use a pair in stereo with Reference 3A mm De Capo's and they just made my speakers sound like they had deeper and room filling bass!           The subs disappeared and created an organic sound that you have to hear!              I used the speaker taps on my amp so the sound would be consistent. I sold the De Capo's and used Sonist Concerto 2's and the same magic happened.      But when I traded up to Concerto 4's that go down to the mid 20's, I had to sell the subs to finance the purchase and still wonder how those subs would sound with them. I just recently retired and cannot afford any more gear but I am VERY happy with my system.
