I too have a pair of 1.6's and in a small room you might want to consider just using them without a sub for a while, get to know them on their own terms, their bass is surprising good and after the break in period gets even deeper. I too was considering a sub but decided too get to know how they sound fully broken in before investing in a sub. My room is 14'X26' and I don't feel the bass is lacking. I have also heard very good things about the Vandersteen 2wq with the Maggies. The Maggies are so seemless and perfect without the sub, I too am on the fence about messing up a good thing up. Good Luck!
Subwoofer for Magnepan 1.6?
I have a pair of Magnepan 1.6's on order and am thinking of adding a subwoofer. I'm going to set them up in a small room and my musical taste is skewed more toward vocals and chamber music rather than rock at high levels. I'd appreciate hearing of successes or failures in matching the two.
