Sub-woofer/ Source for MAgnepan MG 1.6s

I just bought myself MG 1.6 QRs which I drive using Plinius 8150. To complete my setup, I am looking for a sub woofer to complement the 1.6s. I dont want to spend too much and reasonable price is a criteria.

Also I want recommendations for a reasonably priced entry level LP Player and a CD Player preferably one that plays DVD-Audio/ SACD.

Please help with recommendations.

thx.

Magfan,

I mean the 1.6 is so good (approaching the best made) that the rest of the components should be to that level before you buy a sub. Take advantage of that terrific speaker with amazing midrange.

Just my 2 cents, I'll stop being disruptive now...

I never felt the need to have a sub woofer with my 1.6s.

I would skip it and get better quality sources (or wire) and that would improve your bass as well.

what wire are you using? Your 8150 is a nice amp and should compliment the 1.6 nicely. I do not mean to be pushy, it is just that when I had 1.6s I tried several amps and never felt like the bass was missing anything.

Of course I like a simple set up to begin with so I am biased.

Magfan,
for me there is a price at which you do not want to spend money on a sub but get the basics right first

Snaudio,
I am not familiar with either of your wires but you may want to try swapping them for others to see what happens

good luck and enjoy
