i still use an energy es-8 in my office system and it does its job well--musical, unobtrusive and clean, without the boominess of lesser products. they're very inexpensive ($100-150) used. however, if i wanted to step up, i'd get a hsu stf (around $300 on hsu's website)--tight, authoritiative and a fantastic value.
Budget subwoofer that matches Monitor Audio RS1?
Hi Dear Audiogoners,
I just both a pair of Monitor Audio RS1 and a Virtue Audio 2 integrated amp (really nice combo, BTW). Now, I'd like to add a sub to my system. I am looking for a used small (8-inch), budget sub (300-400) that matches the RS1.
My room is 13x15x11 feet. I've seen the Energy ESW-V8 for ~$300 (8" and goes down to 26Hz) Has anybody listened to this sub? is it good? Would it match my RS1 well?
Any other suggestions? I actually clueless about subs, since I've never owned one. So, any suggestion will be welcomed!!!
Thanks in advance!!
