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 believe more has been written on this subject than on the Civil War, the Treaty of Versailles or JFK's assassination. The prevailing, though by no means unanimous, view of these extensive musings is (a) the 3.6s definitely need a sub (or 2 or 4); (b)the 3.6s need a ton of high-quality power to drive them, and (c) integration and room correction issues incident to adding a sub are challenging. Personally, I've abandoned my goal of buying the 3.6s and am looking at a less daunting, more plug-and-play proposition such as VMPS or JM Lab.
