@greenngoldcheesehead are you suggesting the Rhythmik subs with or without MiniDSP?
Subwoofer Advice
I am running a pair of Martin Logan ESL 13A speakers (24-23,000 Hz). I would have thought with two 10" woofers there would be more bas (the base level dial on the rear of the speakers doesn’t seem to cut it either).
In the past I had a pair of ML Spires (29-23,000 Hz) with only one 10" woofer that had so much base, I sold my pair of ForceField 30s. Not the case with the 13A’s.
I don’t have a lot of room, maybe 16" or so square and I was wondering about a pair of SVS Micros. Do you think they would complement the 13As or do I need something bigger?
Martin Logan has come out with a few new subs lately; do you think I should keep in the ML family?
Hoping to come in under $2K, so used is fine. Thanks all!
I should also mention I’m limited on space so placement would likely have to be on the inside or the outside of the main speakers (same back wall).

@mijostyn couple of quick question, how would I wire up the KEF subs? 1. With the way my system is now - no miniDSP? My amp doesn’t have SUBs out. 2. With miniDSP and the Benchark DAC? Would the miniDSP work magic maybe with just my Martin Logans, without purchasing the subs? It seems with the ARC Genisis program, the bass can be found with the two 10" woofer already onboard the MLs? I'd just like to integrate the bass better to the room.
Thx. |
Now you have no crossover. So, you would take an output off your preamp and run it to the KEFs using the low pass filter in the KEFs. Once you have the MiniDSP, you would set up the crossover in the MiniDSP and take a digital output to the Benchmark then balanced outputs from the benchmark to the KEFs. Yes, the MiniDSP will improve the performance of the KEFs alone. You can always add subs later. Two 10" woofers is not going to project anything below 50 Hz with and degree of authority. With the KEFs you will have 4 purpose designed 9" drivers. |
@mijostyn Thank you! |
