Subs for Ultra Fast Speakers

[TheOctopus]

I am finally convinced a properly integrated subwoofer is essential for all but a few very high end speakers having separate subwoofer towers.

In 2019 I bought a JL Audio F212v2 and the CR-1 crossover. JL Audio T/S helped me with positioning and setting the phase degree for my room. The subwoofer bass sounds like it's an integral part of my stereo system.

I'm now listening to music with a palpable low end that blends completely with the stereo speakers. And because my stereo amp has been relieved of supporting bass, the mids and highs from my stereo speakers has appreciable improved

I can relate. I accomplished the same results with a stereo pair of F112's and a Bryston crossover back in the day as the CR-1 was not available then. It is a great way to go.

In the Magnepan forums the subs that get talked about a lot are the Rythmik subs and their direct servo tech. Speed is a very important consideration with Maggie's. I can attest to them. Very nice subs and because how the sell direct, etc., not bad priced.

This very similar to how I have mine setup. I am crossed over at 70Hz with 2 F212's and a CR-1.

my speakers have time delay bass built into the dsp xover, it's also switchable on/off. Now the marketing lit says this delay can be equivalent to moving the mains or woofers or whatever up to 27' back! I will say it'll take better ears than mine to notice the difference. When I turn to toggle the delay on and off the difference to my ears is a slight change in volume? maybe a better or bigger room, trained ears would notice a more dramatic change idk but there's my .02
