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

I have the 3.6, and have used the james 10, 12, and 1500, all were an improvement to the maggie bass. I have a big room so if you have a smaller room, more important is to give the maggie enough horsepower, like a minimal amp would be the Bryston 4BSST. Less than that and you will never hear this speaker. With that much power, they will be alive. Want a bit more, go to the 14BSST, than you will hear all they can do. I biamp with a 3-way Xover, crossing the sub at 80Hz, soon to be doing it at 50Hz. I use the Marchand XM44, didn't like the XM26...too tubey. Another sub to consider is the JL audio 13'sand yes I have tried those too, and they are great, possibly the best I have tried. Jallen
