I am a big fan of the Vandy 2Wq. I own a pair, but not using them with panel speakers. I used them first with Vandersteen 1Cs, and now with Ohm Walsh 2000s. They continue to delight and provide deep, full, tight, accurate bass, with a seemless blend with my mains. I did upgrade to the HP-M5 (?) crossovers, which offered a real improvement in transparency and resolution over the basic in-line filters.
Subwoofer options for Magnepan with crossover betwen pre and amp?
I'd like to offload the bass below 50hz to a subwoofer through a crossover placed between pre amp and amp; believe this will (a) help with stabilizing the Prima Luna amp by eliminating low bass clipping (b) remedy the lack of weight in the low bass with Magnepan 1.7's. Has anyone found a combination they liked for around $2k? I've seen Vandersteen 2WQ's mentioned, I suppose separate amp/crossover TBD with Magnepan DWM panels are another path. My main concern is a clean merge of the subwoofer with the SQ of the Magnepans
