Whatever sub you use, get a DSpeaker anti-mode 8033. I use the 1.7 Maggies with a Paradigm servo 15. I had been looking to change subs but this sub device made a huge improvement. I do like the idea of a servo unit with these quick speakers, but a friend is happy with his 20.0 speakers and the top Hsu sub. He also tried a DSPeaker unit and was amazed. I would suggest you get Mye stands for your 3.7s. Have fun!
I had 2 REL Stentors for several years but had reliability issues so went to a JL Audio sub that was quicker and went deeper and have never looked back!

Hi K. Rose,

Sounds like a great setup. Getting a good sub to mate with the Magnepans is critical. I would suggest you think of three options:

1) REL: I echo the sentiments of many that you should audition REL's offerings

2) If you are looking used, I would highly recommend Revel Performa B15 or B15a subs. I personally own the B15 and it is an amazing, tight, and fast sub. But, it's big with a 15" woofer.

3) JL Fathom. I hear this sub a few months ago when I auditioned a pair of Wilson Sasha speakers. The sub lives up to all the reviews.

I know there are likely plenty of other good subs out there, but having auditioned Maggies myself, these are the three subs that I think will be real winners in the setup.
