Hello all,
I've been pondering over adding a pair of subs to my system.
Recently I obtained a very hard-to-find pair of speakers by Jean Maurer that I've fallen in love with. They are a 2 way with an 8" mid/bass. I think they're fantastic and may represent a sort of tonal end game for me.
Low end extension is quite important to me for listening- at least into the low 30hz range although lower is welcome The JMs sound strong enough to probably the upper 40s but I would like to give them some assistance after that.
I did experiment recently with using my pro audio dB 210A sub, it's a 2x10" with 600 Watts. Sounded very good, integrated very well, miles better than my old REL Storm III- but like most pro audio, it is an ugly black box and it isn't in any way a living room friendly look, haha!
I'm guessing the smart way to do this is to set crossovers with a miniDSP or similar.
What I am looking for are some recommendations for a 10 or 12 inch sub- a pair, that look nice (wood finish), "speak" fast, aren't ponderous in delivery, and are reasonably compact. Clean tight bass, not exaggerated.
This is all theoretical at the moment, as I can't afford to go large on a pair of subs for now. More of a long-term plan.
