@drbond thank you for this. I will spend some time going over it. I just tried to hook up my PBK from Martin Logan and it’s not working some kind of connection, problems, etc., etc., etc. The joy of technology! :-(
Subwoofer Advice
I am running a pair of Martin Logan ESL 13A speakers (24-23,000 Hz). I would have thought with two 10" woofers there would be more bas (the base level dial on the rear of the speakers doesn’t seem to cut it either).
In the past I had a pair of ML Spires (29-23,000 Hz) with only one 10" woofer that had so much base, I sold my pair of ForceField 30s. Not the case with the 13A’s.
I don’t have a lot of room, maybe 16" or so square and I was wondering about a pair of SVS Micros. Do you think they would complement the 13As or do I need something bigger?
Martin Logan has come out with a few new subs lately; do you think I should keep in the ML family?
Hoping to come in under $2K, so used is fine. Thanks all!
I should also mention I’m limited on space so placement would likely have to be on the inside or the outside of the main speakers (same back wall).

@saboros seems OK. |
For your budget, it would be hard to beat a pair of Rythmik L12s. Those are what I currently use with my Borresen X3 floorstanders. The Borresens have the tightest, cleanest, most dynamic bass of any speaker I’ve owned among dozens, including panels, yet the Rythmiks still keep up pretty well. I don’t doubt there are better subs out there, but I doubt any of those can be had for under your budget. The L12s have a braced cabinet that weighs in at 50lbs, a cast aluminum chassis driver, a linear power supply with massive transformer for the amp, and a solid aluminum backplate. Those are quality features you won’t find with similarly priced products from the likes of SVS.

@helomech I checked out the Rythmik L12s and they look like great bank for the buck, but it seems, from what I'm hearing hear, is that I need balance forced subs which are double my budget. So, I guess I'll be doing without whilst saving up for these. Thank you for the suggestion though! |
