forget the subs. you will be much happier with a pair of full-range speakers, particularly given your penchant for classical music (which i assume includes large orchestral pieces). i've had a number of very highend monitor/sub systems; none has been as coherent as good full-range speakers. BTW, the same is true, in my experience, with hybrid electrostatic/dynamic speakers. and, yes i've owned these, too. -kelly
Subwoofer Help...
I have a problem with bass and am looking for advice... I have a pair of B&W Silver Signature 30s in an audio only system. I listen primarily to classical music and am looking to integrate faithful deep bass reproduction with the Sig 30s. I am toying with the idea of purchasing a pair of subwoofers and was looking for any advice from people who have high resolution monitors and have done the same. My greatest concern is integration with the Sig 30s... various thoughts include a pair of the new smaller Revel subs, a pair of 12" Velodynes, or possibly a Wilson Pow Whow. Suggestions and/or experiences are welcome...
