Adding a small subwoofer for music in 2020
I see a few old posts considering small subwoofers, but I wanted to resurrect this topic for 2020.
I have a small office (8x10). I have zu cubes, and a heaven11 billie and small tube amp I like to switch between.
The cubes need a sub but I have limited space. The Billie has a pre out, the small tube amp only has speaker output.
Ideally I would get something that has both high level as well as low level inputs. I haven’t found a lot of truly small units that offer this. So far the only thing jumping out at me is the Velodyne microvee. I like the features of Rythmik, but their 12" units seem too big. JLaudio discontinued their d108.
Anything else in a small sub to round out music I should consider?

Small, low cost, EQ and wireless. http://syzygyacoustics.com https://www.velodyneacoustics.com Still available from a new German owner, unmatched feature set and low distortion. REL the hydroxychloroquine of subwoofers. Chrome bits, shinny paint and a thirty year old setup procedure. |
After checking with my local hifi shop I picked up a Rel T/5i from them. I hooked it up using the included high level cable (bare wire to speakon), and following their procedure it integrated very easily and sounds great. I also heard that some of the Sumiko subwoofers are basically licensed copies of the Rel design, and may be had used for cheaper. |

Glad to hear you found what you were looking for, no fuss no muss 😊 |
