Subs for


I have a pair of Magnepan MG 1.6/QR speakers powered by a Bel Canto s300iu integrated amplifier that I want to pair up with a subwoofer. What will do the maggies justice and where would you recommend crossing them?

Dear Tfeder: IMHO you can/could really improve the quality performance in your audio system and carry it to an order of magnitude step with the integration of two subs in true stereo fashion instead to add subs for only bass reinforcement.

Of course that you can do it ( bass reinforcement ) but this option IMHO is for HT use not for music listening through two speakers.

Please if you can read here what I posted in other similar thread:

Your Maggies are the perfect example to try the integration of two powered subs in tru stereo fashion in an audio system.

Stanwal, you can try to make the crossover at the amplifier through a teflon caps ( I don't know if this can do it in what you are using now ). This is what I do in my system to avoid any signal degradation in the main speaker performance. Well this is one issue the other is to run the subs ( in your case REL. ) at 80Hz crossover point each one with is own and different signal from left and right channel from the preamp.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
