Polling MagnePan Users - Using a SubWoofer?

My room is PERFECT... it was custom built and is just right...17.5w x 26L x 9h; 20.7's sit approx 6 ft into the room...

I think a subwoofer can add 'foundation' to the musical presentation and imparts a feeling or sensation of power (thump) to the sound, it can also open-up the sound stage, make it wider and deeper.... the trick is finding a sub woofer that is actually fast enough to keep up with the Magnepans and one that will integrate so that it doesn't impede on the Maggies mid-range transparency...

Wondering if anyone has actually used a Pardigm with their 20.7's or 3.7's?

Mofimadess, if you ever try the Magnepan woofer panels please let me know.... I discussed that option with Wendell but he was very evasive and non-committal on what impact they might have... I guess it is hard for a manufacturer to admit that their flagship speaker might actually be improved by adding a subwoofer or woofer panel, not sure...

As long as its done well, why not? I had Maggies for years and they were at their best when a decent sub was integrated well. Same true whenever I visit my local Maggie dealer. His systems always sounds good and he is not afraid to use a sub with Maggies when needed.

What it takes to do it well can vary. Room and acoustics play a big part.

You might also consider Gallo TR1D subs. They are solid to around 25hz in my room and very easy to integrate. These are way better than any of my previous subs including REL.

The cabinet is a sealed design, round and metal, very compact, aluminum cone, and a 200 watt amp. No slow ponderous bass to be found.
