Subs with Maggies???????


I know that many folks think subs only belong in HT but some 3.6 ownmers use them.Maggie told me there not needed unles your pedal Organ freak but if you do go only up to 8".I know they would have to be fast so multi driver sub like Vandersteen on cheap end,REL which is speedy and not "boom in roiom box" or Martin Logan Depth with three 8" 'ers would be choices I can think off for friends 3.6's.Saw a guy on ebay selling box which he claims really helps when using.Not sure if x-over or filter.Ned to look at add again unless he a fly by nighter.If one wants to use them one in Bryston/3.6 set up does one need to shell out for Bryston 10B Sub or just go line in or speaker pass through?If he added another 4BST lateral that would settle need for 10B as those little Maggie x-over (not even made any more) he has form last amp set up is crap.
Thanks

As a watts for bucks deal I would like to hear my buddies system with one of the $2400 Wyred intergrateds.It's got a pre section Wally said was 80% of highly reviewed unit and puts out 570 watts into 8 ohms!yeah knock is there a bit dry sounding and cal roll of the highs to some ears (others not) but this would be a good test.Can use the HT throughput for the sub.Was thinking this and ML Depth and getting him to update the DAC from the Proceed to at least Benchmark or PS if not Bel Canto would do them justice.But yeah if not a second 4BST and a 44 (thanks on tip about 26) would be great but would want to A/B a Marchand and Bryston's 10sub.Have to say I hear all the strengths of the Maggie but it's bass and dynamic punch leave me as merely a sympathizer to to the cult not a card carrier.Not if I could only build a design I heard about with ribbon and Fostex run dipole with DEQX pre I could give up the monkey coffins.Also any hope of paying my bills.Wish I were still in touch with guy who was building his SOTA design with compressed foam mentioned drivers and subs locked into his floor joists all after he read about DEQX @6mooons.Wish I knew how that project worked out.If your reading this and a single (i.e. WAF unencumbered) shrink in CO who wrote to me get back in touch.
