Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs


Hello all - was wondering if anyone can recommend a sub pairing that is commensurate with my Harbeth 40.3 XDs ...? I love it loud. Looking for tight , punchy thump from the kick drum that sounds like arena PA ...🥳 

my system : 

Manley Snappers , Manley Jumbo Shrimp Pre

 

Some of these Subs like the REL S/812 seemed kinda pricey....an Emminence $250 speaker in a shiny powered cabinet doesn’t seem worth $3200?

 

Thanks!

good to know ....I have a cheaper SVS PB1000 & its not really focused at all, more of a HT kinda deal it would be ok ....you get what you pay for....

 

thanks! 

What a mess..Snappers running harbeth? Guess that's why your asking for sub ideas,lol...Have you watched videos on how the rel drivers are made on that particular sub you reference...

You don't need a subwoofer(s), but a parametric EQ.  For most pop/rock music the punch in the kick drum is in the mid-bass frequencies, say 100 to 160Hz.

I just replaced a Velodyne with a RELS812.  Just one 

unreal.  Don’t know why I waited so long

medium sized room. Everything got clearer

just killer

good luck
