Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology)

They're not too terribly bad with the grills in place, but without them they're about as ugly as speakers get! I'm thinking about taking off the stock cloth, and putting on some real sheer stuff that's acoustically transparent. 

I have paired them with  a pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers. Superb, seamless and I consider it a 3-in-1 upgrade as the unique feedforward design of the 2Wq's frees up more juice for these power hungry speakers, which benefit also by only having to play from 80hz upward- less juice required. My amps don't work as hard.
My brother walked into the house and commented, without entering my listening room, how effortless my hi-fi sounded.

Nice, adiebear! What's not to like? Great subs, great speakers!

Getting a subwoofer, and succeeding, requires room tuing AND advanced EQ. JL Audio subs have the latter built in for a fortune.

I think this could be a great sub, but it has no good EQ options. You'll have to figure that out separately. The 1 band EQ option is not enough.

Best,

Erik, that’s the one element of the Rythmik subs that seems questionable to me. 1-band of parametric room EQ? Why bother! I suppose it’s better than nothing, but what room has only one bass mode? With the introduction of the new DSPeaker Anti-Mode X4, the 2.0 Dual Core is now available for $500, and can be used with a pair of stereo subs or speakers. Money very well spent.
