IF YOU HAVE THE ROOM, BUY THE MAGNEPAN TYMPANI SPEAKER. THE BASS IS IN FOUR PANELS AND IS BETTER THAN ALL OTHER MAGNEPANS EXCEPT MAYBE THE MG 20 SERIES. OTHER THAN THAT ..A COMPANY BASED IN GRASS VALLET CALIF...VERTEK...MAKES MODEL SPECIFIC SUBS FOR RIBBONS THAT ARE FAST AND EXTREAMLY ACCURATE .

Indoor voices, please. :-P

I run my 3.6's full range and use a Final sub with them. The sub extends frequency response in my room down to 20hz. The blend is seamless.

I do roughly the same as Arh. My 3.6Rs are run full-range, and I use a REL Stentor II for the bottom end. Completely seamless after spending the time to properly set it up, and it extends waaay down. It's a very different listening experience because with this sub it isn't so much sound as it is a pressurization of the air in the room.

Realistic bass for me is the 12th row and I've never been slammed by the bass at any performance I've attended. I don't sit next to the instruments at concerts or other live (unamplified) music venues. I've always run my Maggies full range for that reason. That's just my standard of comparison based on the music I listen to.
