Looking for a subwoofer to match my GMA Europas

I would like to add a subwoofer to my system to add a little more bottom end to my music. I currently have two Green Mountain Audio Europas hooked in to a Conrad Johnson CAV-50 and have been very pleased for several years.

My listening room is small, roughly 14 ft by 12 ft. My music tastes run mostly to jazz and classical, with an occasional rock tune mixed in.

Any suggestions for a compatible subwoofer would be appreciated. I suspect I need one with RCA speaker connects given my amp, but am not sure.

Thanks,

Chris

Tread carefully, a room that small won't likely support very low bass.

With my old Callistos, I had very good luck with a Martin Logan Depth.

REL. I use a 108Q in a room 14 x 10. Perfect!

Thanks to all for the feedback! I will be cautious in going too low on the bass. I don't need to rattle the walls, just add a bit more depth. I'll check out the ML and REL and let you know how I fare!

You won't be able to control how low the sub reaches. You will be able to control where it hands off to the Europas and the volume of the sub. The key here is to not cross the sub over too high in order to avoid too much overlap and a midbass "bump". Just let the Europas do what they do and roll the sub in as low as possible to fill in the bottom octave.
