Subwoofer Suggestions


About 5 years ago, I put together a system for my college-bound son.  Started with gifting him my restored Pioneer SX-950 (85wpc) receiver, then purchased B&W 607 bookshelfs and a Rega 1 turntable. Nice little system.

He's been in between job assignments recently, so all his gear is now set up in my listening room.  The 607s sound great, but i think they could use the help of a sub.  In all my years with this hobby i have never used one....so i need some suggestions, especially where/if they are compatible with a vintage receiver, what wattage is appropriate, etc.  Any specific brand/model suggestions will be appreciated. Max budget is $600. 

Thanks!

Everyone has their favorite brand. SVS are fine subs.The equalizer has an app that you can install on your phone or tablet and do all the adjustments from your listening seat.I'm very happy with mine.

For 600 used is your friend. Bought a little 10 inch velodyne that’s 10 years old for 300 bucks. Great little sub that was around 1500 new and punches way above its weight. 

Agree with others if you can get 2 for your budget even if mismatched will be way better.

nothing wrong with SVS. I don't think the entry level models are the best value or at least they did not work for me.
