Subwoofer for classical music listener

This is my second post on the subject of subwoofers.
My first post wasn't specific enough.
I listen to classical music 90% of the time.
Are there any classical music listeners out there who have subwoofers?
if there are, could you let me know what you have?
i don't imagine I would need quite as powerful or expensive a sub as those who mainly listen to other types of music, but I may be wrong.

I'm glad your encouraged  I just want you to realize 
when you hook up
your amps low input imp and the subs in RCA parallel  w your tube Pre amp it will see a very low imp load 
 Lifeless may be the result

Hi JohnnyR,

As I mentioned earlier in the thread the line-level input impedance of the SVS SB-2000 is 47K, which is much higher than the line-level input impedance of many and probably most other powered subs. In combination with the 22K input impedance of the OP's amps that will result in a 15K load being presented to the preamp, significantly higher than the 10K minimum that is recommended by Conrad Johnson for the particular preamp.

Regards,

I got it Al but will still wage the 15 K combine will not be optimized.
Three positive things could result if he was able to High Pass with a non
Ice design move to a100 k input imp amp and go at it x 2 at speaker level.
 its sad because its what he was really looking for in the first place.
  Best JohnnyR
