I strongly suggest a Vandersteen 2WQ. On-board 300 watt amp, adjustable, allows your amp to work solely on your mid and treble, and clears it up considerable. $1m600.00 but you can find previously owned for $500.00. I did. If in S. California, try Stereo Unlimited. I think they have one., so you can listen to it. Otherwise, they are often on Audiogon.
Looking for a musical subwoofer @ $500>
Had some thoughts, but figured I would ask here as I was given some great advice for my previous amp/preamp questions: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/amp-preamp-or-avr-for-home-stereo-and-entertainment
System sounds great btw! Parasound A23, Integra 80.3, KEF Carina II's, Technics turn table, and a Blu Ray Player.
Anyhoo - I could use some more bass. The KEFs get down to 55hz but a lot of my music goes lower and I don't want to compromise... to a point.
Looking for a sub capable up 25-30hz on the low end with anywhere from 8-12" driver for less that $500. I came across the Klipsch R-12SW and the reviews were stellar, especially for the price. Want this for music more than Home Theater, but both would be nice. I've even read that the Pioneer SW-8 or 10 is a fine unit for the price.
I know of names like Sunfire and Velodyne, but I wonder if it's worth buying into those companies if I can only afford the lower end products.
Also, my guess is that buying a used subwoofer is like buying a used race car... expect it to be driven, hard.
Thanks in advance!
