I have had very good success with REL products. I particularly like the fact that the subwoofer is run directly from the power amp without being inserted between the amp and main speaker. Hence, the main speaker path is not degraded. A good subwoofer will add the final octave to the Wilsons, but I'm not sure if the dryness would disappear. Gerrym5 may be on to something with the above recommendation, however, I hesitate to use amps as tone controls. A well setup subwoofer will actually improve midrange clarity, not muddy it up. The key is to smoothly excite the room's standing waves.
Sub-woofer to go with WATT3/Puppy2
Question1: What sub-woofer would be recommended for the above speakers for use in the following systems: - Audio Research LS5mk3 / LS16 pre - Krell FPB200 amp The speakers are just too dry in the bass and the bottom octave is not fully there. I want to avoid buying WA own sub (the WHOW). Budget max $4000. I consider building it since I have good skills of woodwork and electronics. Question2: what would the recommended cut.off frequency be (and x-over order), if I don't cut the input to the WATT/Puppy? Many thanks
