Adding a Subwoofer to Khorns


Looking for recommendations on adding a sub-woofer(s)to Khorns. Has anyone attempted this and gotten good results? Amps are VTL 125 mono-blocks run in 'Triode' mode for 55 watts. Preamp is a Hovland HP-100.

thanks

You will need something very fast. JL Audio's Fathom 113 should be a great match. I've not heard them paired of with Khorns, but have heard them with Avalon Indras and a Hovland VTL combo and they are killer combo there.
The K-Horn already has a big 15" horn loaded woofer . You have the power to get it moving. Using low power leads to the a common problem of imbalanced tone, which most don't understand. I haven't heard the VTL 125 but you seem to have enough juice to get that woofer breathing in Triode.
I use a 50 watt SS Mac with the same woofer in Klipsch Lascalas. I choose the Mac for the "synergy" Macs have with the Heritage line Klipsch (the real kilpsch.) Other than that I use tube monoblocks with 4 X 6CA7s per side rated at about 80 wpc.
The only Suggestion I have is that you run your amp in PP or Ultralinear modes. With more power you might hear the bass you want. I found integration of a sub very hard, if, you are looking for a mid to upper bass "bump". A sub appears to be best suited for use only in lower octaves. Some say you feel a subwoofer not hear it. I agree and think you might want to try a different speakers if the added power doesn't do the trick.
Try a small, but powerful (built in 1500 watt amp) , sub like the Sunfire True Sub Jr. Very small, but very fast and deep bass. Just my two cents...
