subs for Sonus Faber Cremona M floor standing

Dear friends: IMHO I think that in the subwoofer audio topic there is a lower knowledge level ( more ignorance. ) that we could think.

Read this link in this same forum:

http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1322145485&openflup&9&4#9

where he stated: " +++ Subwoofers are more trouble than rewarding. " ++++

and like this there are alot of posts/threads on the subject where we can read about that low knowledge level on the whole subject.

I think some people talk about subs with out knowing what they are talking about.

If we know about subs this sole " move/play " IMHO can give us more rewardings that any other change in a decent audio systems for the subs kind of money invested.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Thorus be a sport.

Sksos1, I agree that one can always decrease the output of the sub....However, I do not think that in a small/very small room that is the best solution. To use a JL Fathom, for example in a 10 x11 room, would seem to me to be a mistake. Not only would you be potentially under driving the Fathom, but IMHO you would be likely to overload the room with VERY minor volume increases. Synergy is HIGHLY important in our system building and room matching, just IMHO.

Sonus Faber makes a Cremona Subwoofer M in their Cremona Collection.

That seems like a good place to start for system matching.

Well, just as I thought, A seemingly simple question is anything but ;) To start off, my room size is 16 x 30. My couch is right in the middle. I was considering the Rel G1 but have entertained cheaper models. That said, with what I have invested in my system it seems like a bad move to go with a cheap sub. Ultimately, I am looking for synergy with my system and not looking for the bass to be it's own entity if you will. Johnnyb53 probably makes the most logical statement the SF does make it's own sub. That said, I also know that certain products (subs especially) can be a bit of a specialized market. In the end, I am sure whichever I go with will be fine. A tremendous thanks for all thoughts... and opinions. They are always welcomed. I myself when it comes to crossover points etc. is beyond my knowledge base. Beyond this, any other chatter is welcome but thought I would drop in.
