SUBWOOFER FOR MUSIC

So good..so many replies..I am pleased..
REL is also a good choice but it is too expensive..overpriced..I won't pay a penny to REL..I am in UK and REL is so expensive here and Servo-15 is only 500£ ..I mean that is 730 USA $..but even the cheapest REL is around 600 £..Most of the British hi-fi products are overpriced..don't pay a penny to them..lol..shall I tell you something?Paradigm Studio 100 beats B&W 802 and B&W is for around 8000 $ but the Paradigm is only 2300$..Paradigm is unbeatable !!!!
for me bass quality is more important than bass quantity..I listen to ethnic jazz and ethnic music..so bass must be DEEP and TIGHT ..
I agree with you that Studio 100 is really good at the bass..but how low can it go??frequency range is specifieed as 39 hz and it also writes that low freuency extension is 25 hz..so which one am I to believe??Can the Studio 100 really go down to 25 hz??I am confused about it..
I also heard that adding a subwoofer might also be a nightmare so I am very cautious about it..
so I still want to hear more from you...thanx....

Aram....help us a bit, what does your system consist of (electronics)??? Possibly this info may help out too.

Aram, it is room loading that extends the bass response of the speakers. The only way to know the response in your own listening space is to get out the trusty Rat Shak SPL meter and measure it. In the case of my HT room, which is medium-sized and has a rather high ceiling, the 100s are down about 3db at 30Hz. With the sub engaged, the room is essentially flat to 25Hz and down 3db at 20Hz. That's gotta be enough bass for anybody!

I use Yamaha MX-1( 200 watts at 8 0hm) and again Yamaha CX-1 as preamplifier.....

Aram you are going to get bunches of votes for Rel and Vander.... If you get a chance log on to Madisound.com Disscussion forums. scroll down to Scott's thread "Peerless XLS sub", there you'll see a very nice musical sub. If you need the specs log on to mad's catalogue peerless etc.
