Thx Current plan is to talk with REL, SVS and Rhythmik. See what they recommend for each of their products given my setup. REL def has strong support here.
Research for subwoofer
I have Bryston model T bookshelf speakers connected to a Luxman 509 that plays high res "Qbuz" music, jazz, pop, classical. ETC. I am considering agreeing a sub but would like some opinions of what might work well with this set up. The sub would have to go on the floor, could be powered or not. Would like to build more of a stage with additional bass.
Thoughts?
Thanks Dave

I’ll add another vote for REL. They do take a bit more effort to set up because there’s no built-in DSP like some (Martin Logan, Paradigm, SVS), but I’ve not heard a better sub for 2-channel music. Very fast and tight and incredible blending. I’m currently running a REL HT/1510 4-pack in a mixed 2-channel music/multi-channel movie system. Will likely go full 6-pack up front eventually. Since your system is for music, I’d agree with the previous suggestions for a pair of T/9x. |
Given the volume of your space and bookshelf speakers a stereo pair of subs would make a major improvement in the sound. If you're only focused on 2-channel I would also recommend REL. Once setup properly, these will provide seamless integration to the point where you will only know they are contributing if you switch them off. Best of luck... |
AudioKinesis Swarm 4 sub array: https://www.audiokinesis.com/the-swarm-subwoofer-system-1.html Below is an REW spl graph (1:12 smoothing) showing useful output to 20Hz in a 28 x 18 x 8 ft room with the Swarm. While many subs can get you to 20Hz, multiple subs of any make will get you there with a flatter frequency response and fewer room modes. More data available on my virtual system page.
