Subwoofer for two channel system


I love my stereo system. It includes the following:

Rowland Synergi IIi preamp
Rowland M201 amps
Cal Audio Labs CL-10 multi disk
Meridian 588 CD player
B & W N802 speakers
Reimyo DAP-777 DAC

I am very interested in adding one or a pair of subwoofers to the system but I do not want to mess with the sound too much. Just add a bit bass to make it perfect. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bryan,

only subwoofered system i've heard which is/was coherent and having rhythm and attack is based on TACT's RCS 2.2x and their dedicated subwoofers. These subwoofers are specially made for integration with TACT's pre.
This system, - all TACT gear (cd drive i do not remember), speakers was Dalis latest Euphonia MS 4.
(I think TACT are in the process of changing/renewing the speaker and sub lineup as i write this post.)
I promise You, adding a subwoofer will be Your biggest regret ever if not with the TACT's pre and subwoofers!
I had the REL - Stentor through 4 apartments..never ever did i get it to integrate seamless!
Still we tried every setup endlessly!
Coherent- no way! Not even the sales guy could say otherwise!
It's simply to much which seem to become a problem,
not just the bass!
I suggest You contact a speakermanufacturer to get proper info concerning the tech talk and so on.
Do Yourself a favour, do what ever You could to "demo"
the Krell FPB 600C or 700CX.
The 600C and 650MC's was used as power amps when the Nautilus was voiced.
What other amp give You that crystal-clear transparency, bass drive and impact at the same time???
I think your preamp will work super in this combo!
I ended up buying a Krell FPB 600C. I had solved the problem with above complaints!
You will get more attack and drive from Your speakers if You add a amp with more power reserves!
Beef up the soundstage and the impact. The control is at a different level.
Maybe that is what You search?
