what best subwoofer for Magnepan 3.6R


I AM PHILIPPE IN FRANCE AND I WOULD LIKE TO PUT A SUBWOOFER WITH MY MG3.6R.
IS IT A GOOD THING ?
THE FILTER BETWEEN BASS AND MEDIUM IS AT 200/250HZ, IS IT GOOD TO PUT THE SUB TO 200/250HZ ?
SO WE DON'T NEED A BIG AMP FOR ONLY DRIVE MEDIUM AND HIGHS ?
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT AND WHAT CAN I DO FOR BETTER ?
SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH !
CORDIALLY

I have a pair of Vandersteen 2wq's with my 3.6's and they work extremely well. Very seamless. REL is also highly regarded and reported to work very well with Magnepans. You can't go wrong with either of these two. There are undoubtably a number of others that will work well also given time and care in set-up. I think the ear is a bit less sensitive to anomolies in the real low frequency range therefore has more tolerance for slight phase and tonal imperfections, as long as these imperfections do not manifest themselves as boomy and/or loose (in other words, home theater bass).
