Sub recommendation for vienna acoustics bach grand


I just picked up some vienna acoustic bach grands and want to get a new sub to go along with them and the maestro central channel speaker.

The room is 23 ft x 23 ft with 10 foot ceilings.

We listen to music 60 pct of the time/movies and TV the rest. We listen to all sorts of music.

I currently am running an older (90s) Onkyo receiver with 125 watts per channel and am planning on picking up an Onkyo tx-nr709 or tx-nr717.

Could you make some recommendations on some subs to consider with my setup? I am very new to this forum and still have a ton to learn re: audio but love to soak it in.

Thank you very much.

Agree with Zd542 and Schubert, those speakers need a quality, high current amp of at least 200w/ch to get the performance they are capable of. Sound from them will improve in every way, not just the bass.
Bonginator, here’s a recent thread you should read about a guy that experienced exactly what we are saying. He upgraded a 125w amp that, if anything, would only be slightly better than receiver power, to a high quality 150w amp.

His comments after installing the amp start at 3-20-13.

I know all of this sidetracks your original question, so what are you thinking?
