Mating sub(s) with Maggie 1.7i


Have pretty much talked myself into trying these, should be fantastic for maybe 70% of my listening. Think I will miss the next octave for the other 30%, sooo …

Everyone talks about adding subs, but also the challenge of integrating coherently, and May toss out a few favorite models (Rel, JL, etc).

Easiest May be adding 2 DWM panels, but they really don’t go much lower, and almost as expensive as the speakers themselves.

I have the ingredients for a (Acoustic Elegance AE15) 4-driver 15” infinite baffle sub (Or 2x2) … I am thinking an IB would be a great match, generally very tuneful and fast, sometimes cannot tell there is a sub there, just extended FR.

I also have the ingredients for a single 12” sub of whatever design. Its a well-regarded Adire Shiva, and I used to use in a sealed 88 liter configuration … very tuneful and fast, integrated pretty well.

And of course, there are any number of manufactured subs out there.

Your thoughts on which path to trod?
inscrutable
 Check out the open baffle subs from gr research.  They use rythmik servo plate amps.  
 A sub on each side would be sweet, so 4 drivers total.

I have been listening to LRS’s with a velodyne hgs-10 sub placed behind me.  Sublime listening experience.  First pair of maggies and I am really enjoying them
