subs for Sonus Faber Cremona M floor standing


My system includes Mac C2300, MC2102. I have it narrowed to the JL F113, Rel or SVS. I am looking to integrate it to the system... Not for the boom boom boom. This system is 2 channel for audio not home theatre. As the SF are amazing I just want to bring a little more low end back into the system. I was running Klipschorns biamped before this so I am missing the walls shaking ;)

Ok this part of wiring is new to me so bear with me. Running full range... that would be running SF and sub out of the back of the C2300 and removing the CBX from the equation. Do I hook up the sub into the output 2? I also just came across some diagrams as well. Or Is this what you mean?

Yes, that's basically it. Send one preamp signal to your amp and another to the sub. Let the sub's built-in crossover, volume, and phase controls (plus its room setup software) do the heavy lifting.

Your C2300 has multiple outputs, both in single-ended and balanced versions. Run one stereo pair of interconnects directly to your MC2102 amp and another pair directly to your JL F113. When you add a second sub, connect one sub interconnect to each of the subs, using the sub's left channel input for each. The JL is wired so that if you use the left input only it functions as a mono input. It's very simple that way, and you could use balanced interconnects for either or both runs as both your amp and the JL can take either kind.

You must have a beautiful sounding setup. I can't think of a much better combo for musical satisfaction than Sonus Fabers and McIntosh tube electronics.
Ok thanks, I figured it was that easy but.... I always like to be sure before sticking my ends into strange holes ;)

Pshaw!! I have heard Krell and Bryston with the Sonus and although very nice in a solid state kind of way... but I believe tubes rule. Out of curiosity, what system would you recommend?

Honestly my ultimate dream system could easily be what you have, or an expansion on it, such as a more powerful Mac tube amp powering the Stradivari Homages. Also, your preamp/amp/speaker combo is capable of such high resolution musicality that I hope you have a nice turntable rig to hear its full capabilities. In that case I'd be happy with a DPS/Ayre turntable and tonearm, or something from Clearaudio in the same general price range.

Other gear I like is Wilson powered by Audio Research or VTL (they also like tubes a lot). I haven't heard the TADs yet, but based on the desriptions I think I'd like those too.

I also like Magnepans when properly set up, and they really take off when accompanied by a pair of JL subs.
Ahh yes, I could build a system in every room of my house and still find more to want. As for turntables, I have a Garrard 301 with sme3012r arm as well as a Nottingham Spacedeck, I am also waiting for a Technics RS-1700 r2r that I am having completely rebuilt. So as for analog... yes I'm good... for now ;) I must say though, that I do miss my Klipschorns but for now they had to go. As for the TADs, from what I have read as well they must be exceptional.
