I think Akozar made a good observation about the Mye Stands. They make a significant increase in the 1.6's bass response. I would also like to add that adding a pair of Nuforce 9.02's amps to you system may really elimiminate your need for a adding a sub. However if you are suffreing form chronic audiophile (toys) addiction (like myself) you really need to go with two subs. And you will have to experiment with their placement. Contrary to what many sales people say. You can not just throw a sub in the cornor of the room and expect it to integrate very well with your maggies. Hey good luck! Isn't this hobby great!
magnepan 1.6 needs help in the bass
i'm begiinning to believe that the amgnepan 1.6 needs some assistance in the bass, i.e., more extension.
i am concerned that mating a cone, especially ported or sealed box is a problem as far as maintaining overall coherency.
also, it may be necessary to have stereo rather than mono sub, which can get expensive.
i have thought about rel, hsu and kharma ?
i also thought about the best way to configure the sub, namely blending. i would run the 1.6s full range and then add bass up to say 60 hz.
any thoughts ?
