Opinions about sub for this system appreciated


Hi all,

I recently paired the Kef 201/2s with my McIntosh MA-6900 and love the sound, but I am definitely missing the bass and general fullness I had with floorstanders. Now that I have a smaller room (W14XL16XH8), I would like to maximize my audio experience (no HT) with the 201/2s. All suggestions will be gratefully received. Thanks! Chad

Docdocgs,

I used to own the Kef 201s, had them in small as well as larger room. I used a Velodyne SPL-1200R sub. I was never really satisfied with the integration though, my feeling was that the Velodyne was too slow. I would aim for a 10" sub and my first choice would be the JL Audio Fathom F110.
REL B3 is fairly easy to integrate and would be a good size for your room. I dont care for the new 'R' series.
Thanks for getting me started in a couple of good directions. I had thought about Rel already (opinion about a specific model appreciated), but had not considered JL Audio (definitely on my radar after checking out reviews, though).
Thanks much. Looks like either of those mentioned will be sufficiently powered by the 200W of the MA6900. Are there other considerations I should be looking at?
