I have a similar system and room. Your goal should be stereo subwoofers, crossed over electronically at 100 hz or less 18db/oct or more. The larger the driver the better - 12" minimum. Taking incremental steps in that direction (use a single summed woofer at first) will get you there. For example, bryston or db systems xover, adcom 555 amp and HSU 1220 or 1225 woofer will stay within your budget. There are MANY other combinations possible, for example the Vandersteen.
Martin Logan CLSIIz - adding more bass?
I have Martin Logan CLSIIz speakers, VTL-MB 125 mono block amps (RCA inputs only)and a Sony CDS-X7ESD CDP that is connected directly to my amps. I am thinking about adding a subwoofer and was wondering if anybody has any advice? My room is quite large (open floor plan) with a high slope ceiling in one part-like a loft. I don't know the volume but dimensions are about about 20 x 30ft with the highest part of the ceiling about 18ft. My budget is around $1000-1500USD and I only buy used! Thanks!
