Subwoofer for Wilson Maxx2

why not to hear your price for the watch dog, as my Maxx2 was brought here too

Dear Richard

I never, never, never use a crossover to any main music speakers.

The idea is to bring up the sub to just start to add a pressure wave to the leading and trailing edges of the notes produced by the mains.

11 feet into the room may be the idea placement, if you subscribe to the audio physic setup mantra which is similar you are dramatically taking both walls out of the equation.

In my 25 years of doing this as a profession I have heard numerous setups which were similar.

This included a 2c3d Avalon Spectral system and of course a pair of Apogees played in the middle of a ballroom and boy that was a shocker.

So it all comes down to what works. There is nothing like sheer output that a good subwoofer provides.

occasionally..i felt that weak pressure wave, i want more from those drum records..which i know..they have plenty low notes, and heard those waves from the same record from some set up

wondering how much improvement fromthe DD18 Plus or DD15 Plus Vs the pervious version ?

now using the XP20 Pass labs with the performance II, Bass is better, but know..it can be more..power low end wave in my room and from those recording

any more suggestion for the Sub woofer?

I had Wilson Maxx 2's for years and now have Alexandias. The bass in the Maxx 2 is plentiful, but can be difficult to control. Initially I had a REL Studio III with the Maxx's. I ultimately got a pair of JL 113's. I can not recommend them more highly. The Alexandrias have excellent bass, and mine are 4 or so feet from the back and side walls. However, adding the JL's was like being hit over the head with a mallet compared to the REL (which is a $10,000 subwoofer BTW). As you know, the JL's have room correction which works well. The bass is musical as well as powerful. 2 friends have Gothams which I had heard extensively before I decided on the JL's myself. My room (25x17x11) is smaller than theirs thus we all agreed the 113's would suffice. I would be very surprised if 113's wouldn't satisfy you. Also the price/performance ratio is highly favorable. PM me if you wish.
