Sounds good Johnto. Kind of similar to my approach and the experiment I'll be undertaking. 50-60HZ and low volume to begin with. Take it from there. I'm definitely not a bass-head and want this room to be the classic, acoustic, Jazz room vs my other room with harder music. But came upon a great deal for this Subwoofer, and said to myself that it can't hurt to try it with speakers like maggies.
Maggies and subwoofer integration
I'm running a Schiit Saga+ into a B@K EX 422 Sonata, into MG-1 maggies. Wanted to add a subwoofer, and was wondering if by just using the second output on the Saga+ to the line level input of the Velodyne Sub I have, would just be adding bass heft to the MG-1's, as there's no built in crossover in the Saga+?
I would optimally want the Sub to takeover from around 60HZ, and aleviate the bass duties of the maggies.
Would it be a waste of time and no real benefit? Would running the signal from the B@K directly to the subwoofer be any different regarding the delineation of the frequency duties?
Thanks in advance for your help.

@margaretha I agree with you on not using subs with Maggie's, but just with the larger panels. I've owned 2.5R's all the way up 20.1's. With the right amps, (2) never felt i was Bass deprived. For music listening, IMO, there is no better bass than a large panel Maggie. With all that said, you will need a sub for the smaller panels. |
@johnto if you're using cheap subs with your Maggie's, what are you using to power them? |
