Magnepan 1.7's best sub match??



Ok, I know there are threads out there that probably addressed this, but now that the 1.7's have been out for awhile, I'm sure there are many more opinions out there?? Has anyone found a reasonably price sub that plays nice with the 1.7's??

Room is 20x20x12.

Thoughts & opinions appreciated!

You're gonna have standing wave problems with a room of 20x20. The only thing which could make it worse would be a 10 foot ceiling height.

If you do go the sub-route, plan on extensive bass corner traps.

What do you consider reasonable?

Well, I guess I should mention that my 20x20x12 room (main
living room area) feeds into an open kitchen/dining room area
so I guess you can consider that into it as the LR is not one
closed off area.

Tpreaves,

I'm thinking under $1k give or take. Maybe one REL T-9, or two T-5's, or similar. Thinking "fast" & "tight" over
super deep.

Rrog,

I have Denon monos @ about 460 W/PC. Speakers are
a little over 1 yr old, but still not sure they are
broken in as the gentleman I bought them from did not play
them all that often, or for long periods of time.

Also, what would you think about 45 W/PC of tube power??
