Hi K. Rose,

Sounds like a great setup. Getting a good sub to mate with the Magnepans is critical. I would suggest you think of three options:

1) REL: I echo the sentiments of many that you should audition REL's offerings

2) If you are looking used, I would highly recommend Revel Performa B15 or B15a subs. I personally own the B15 and it is an amazing, tight, and fast sub. But, it's big with a 15" woofer.

3) JL Fathom. I hear this sub a few months ago when I auditioned a pair of Wilson Sasha speakers. The sub lives up to all the reviews.

I know there are likely plenty of other good subs out there, but having auditioned Maggies myself, these are the three subs that I think will be real winners in the setup.
Magnepan now has woofers try a pair of the DWMs
they will work great.
Were you awear of these being available?

No I wasn't, I also came across brand called TBI, they also look very intersting will have a look at the Magenpan site at there subs also and check other recomedation given
Thanks
The DWM is a small section of the bass panel from the 20.1's. It only goes down to 40 Hz. I'm not sure its going to add that much to the 3.7's.
((I'm not sure))
I thought so
Do you think Magnepan after 30 plus years might have worked on this,knows how to
transition their bass to sound natural?
