Hi,

Right now I'm trying a Jamo S808 sub to fill in some mid bass with a pair of MC1's.
I don't want or need low end simply because I'm in an apartment.

What is the lowest price sub that you think is fast enough to keep up with the MC1's?
Should the sub always be acoustic suspension and not ported to keep up with Maggies?

This is for 2 channel only. I use the optical out into my Denon when watching TV shows/movies.

I use a REL T/5 with my MMG-W's in the living room... and two of them in my main system supporting some modded MMG's. Quick; they mate well with smaller Maggies.

So there's that option.

But maybe a T/zero would be a better choice given the domestic situation?
