Welcome! Good to see you today. REL is a Sonic match for your 1.5 speakers.

A cross over point is 80Hz.  Between speaker and subwoofer. As above, consider implementing 2 subs and measure the main drop off frequency.

I look forward in reading more about your Musical taste and system.

I enjoyed reading your CD player thread as well.

Happy Listening!

Thanks for the replies. To Unsound, I I just placed these 1.5s back in after a 6 year break. In 2016 both tweeters blew. I was using a vintage Dyneco amp and just turned it up too high. I decided to place on the side and replace with Tekton Lore. Very different sound. I was recently had the tweeters rebuilt and although there is less bass than the Lores the 1.5s have a much more pleasing midrange. I saw a pair of 2.7s for sale on Ebay for a good price but they have a 100 watt minimum amp requirement. I'm runningba Prima Luna Dialougue HP at 70 watts. So that's why I'm considering subwoofers. 

It's no accident that the 1.5 hung out on Stereophile's Class A (limited bass) ranking for 5 or so years. I used it for the past 7 years at our small village live performance venue to startlingly good results and reviews. I used it with a Thiel SS1 and Thiel's Passive OX set for the 1.6 (very similar bass parameters.) I paired it with a Prima Luna, which is a nice sonic match. Plus the 1.5 is in my upgrade sites. It's quite a little honey.

Happy Friday! All
