Which is best sub for N802 in fairly large room?


I have been living with a pair of 12 inch tube subs (using Paradigm X30 + 200w/ch bass amp) along with B&W 802 FS. Recently upgraded to N802, of course bass is greater but still not quite enough for the large room. I have problem integrating the old subs w/ new speakers, they just tend to muddy up the clean sounds of N802. Which sub or subs out there would be clean enough to use. Thanks to all replies, TN

You might want to try a lower crossover point, and a better crossover like the Marchand. Take a look at my system, I am using the Marchand and two 12" subs and love it.
I've been living with my N802 speakers for long enough to experiment with various amps, wires and subs. I now run a Velodyne sub, Krell 300cx amp and bi-wire with Transparent Reference cable. I know this is not a direct answer to your question about getting more bass. But, upgrading your speaker wire and Bi-wiring specifically may be the cheapest noticeable upgrade for the N802 sound. IMHO.

If he is using an electronic cross-over, I don't see how he can get more bass by changing to bi-wire of his 802s, since all (or at least 90%) the bass is going to the subs anyway...
B&W has a Nautilus sub that they are or have launched. Same curved cabinet. Wish I could give you more info. I was just on their web site and I didn't look. Peace and Good Listening,Pat.
