Need Sub to Pair with Magnepan MMG's - Page 2

SVS subs are more well-suited for HT duties than music, although i hear the pb13 does a very good job at music.

Go with Hsu/SVS/Rythmik/Elemental Designs/Epik/Velodyne and it's quite hard to go wrong. JL is over-priced for what it is, nuff said

If your going with Maggies, you've got to go old-school amplification. Picked up a mint Adcom GFA-555 cheap and can put 325 watts/channel into the MMGs.

My current setup:
Music Hall 5.1 TT -> Outlaw 2150 Receiver -> MMG's


I have your receiver and speakers and I use the Outlaw 10 inch sub which is designed bby HSU. Both those lines are outstanding subs and will mate perfectly with the 2150 and MMG. The MMG I use the internal crossover set at 50 with the subs amp as I think the MMG panels sound much better without the reciver bass managment.

The 2150 he has and I have do well with the MMG  and put out 190W into the 4 ohm load and sound good and it is  more current than the 555.  They do not need that much power unless you have a 600 sq feet room. In my 13.5 X20.5 I cant play past 10 PM

As a owner of few SVS's, recommend SVS SB12+ or perhaps SB13-Plus
