I ran Vandersteen subs for years. The Vandersteen sub system with the crossover before the amplifier does integrate very well. The problem is the crossover is not transparent. As I upgraded my system I moved to the battery biased m5-hp crossover which is more transparent than the stock cossover but still smears precise sounds like higher frequency plucked strings and well recorded vocals. For a while I ran the subs with rock and roll and would remove them for jazz. I finally got tired of this and moved the Vandersteen subs into the home theater systemEnter your text ...
Subwoofer recommendation
Hi AudioGon community,
I'm looking for a used sub that would integrate well into my system and where I can purchase.
The sub is for music playback and I want it to blend seamlessly with the Revel speakers and not be difficult to place or set sub settings. My max budget is $400-500.
I have Revel M106 speakers and a Plinnius 1800 Integrated Amp. The integrated amp has preout and loudspeaker connections (no sub out).
Room is approx 12' x 12'. Please also recommend cables. I've read a lot about subwireless systems, sub eq systems but its a bit overwhelming.
So far my considerations are:
SVS SB12
Revel Concerta B120
Rel T1
Thanx for your help AG folks, Fred
