Can you use a subwoofer or several in this set-up?

Either way put some Audio Note AN E's in the corners and though the room is a little big should be okay. With Subwoofers handling under 20hz say from Genesis or other quality subs you can still get the rumble. Doesn't Rives make subs as well(though I may be mixing this up with another company)

Although I have not heard them you could also try Marten Designs that the Audio Federation of Colorado absolutely loves and I have no idea what room size they are designed for but they are very big. They also carry Audio Note and Kharma.

Yeah yeah AN is the weird little SET friendly box maker but you noted the pro of being easy to drive and their biggest advantage may in fact be their ease of moving around -- don't have 400 lbs to lug around. And you know there is no bigger vinyl lover than Audio Note's boss.

And you also know - if you're the John Marks of Stereophile that if you're cash strapped they have DIY for under $2k.

Audio Note aside - I would still go with a HE speaker of some sort because you have a far wider array of choice in front ends. The only disadvantage is that the students may not want to leave with such a good musical experience!
