subwoofer with paradigm reference 100 v2

I'm not sure what you would (could add)bass wise to the big Paradigm's, they are already big daug's on the bottom end and I guess you could say every place else in the musical spectrum also. If you want more, I would go with two subs as only one sub will sound like crap with them. You do not say what it is about your system that you do not like. You might like the sound of a tubed pre with those Paradigm's and that SS Bryston

I have 100.2 but have not tried them with a sub. I love them the way they are so probably won't although I looked into Paradigm subs for my second system and they seem to have a lot to offer for the price (just like all their other products). Check them out and see for yourself. I have heard several say on this forum that 2 subs are better than one as Sogood said above but that can get expensive for simple experimentation.

I have a pair of the Studio 100v2 Paradigms that I use for HT. They have very good bass extension but lack that kick in the chest for explosions, etc. I use a VMPS Larger Subwoofer powered by a Crown K2. IMO, and despite what has been said above, if you use a powerful sub like this one, you have no need for two unless your room is enormous. I do agree that dual subs are significantly better than a single for serious music listening.

I had a pair of Studio 100v2 with a Paradigm Servo 15 sub... I would only run the sub when listenning to movies... For 2 channel music, the 100s are very good as is... I would not add a sub if your goal is 2 channel music... Remember, subs are not easy to integrate properly in a system...

On the other hand, for HT, a sub is a "nice to have".
