In Reply to: RE: Seeking Advice - 20,1s, 3.7s, subs posted by Audiophilander on December 17, 2016 at 12:40:28
I started my Maggie adventure with a set of 3.3's and now have 20.1's. Ive had the same sub with both, a velodyne DD15, which blends perfectly with the Maggies. I have also advanced into the world of bi-amping with the 20.1's, I am using a Magtech for the bass and an ESL for the mid-high.
I can say for sure B-amping made a huge difference, and since doing so I view having the sub as an option, but it still does make a difference I like to use the term it adds the floor to the music.Even bi-amping doesn't give you that bottom end that comes from having a sub.

Spot on! :-))
A conductor in Texas who I corresponded with a few years ago was biamping his 20.1s but felt the need to add a pair of subs, so he could hear the sort of meaty orchestral music he heard on the podium.
Having recently added subs to my 3-way Maggies I am loving - as you say - the extra floor to the music! :-)) 16hz organ tones are a revelation!

I am not sure if my hearing goes down that low. Do you hear that or do you feel it?
So many items in the house to stop from vibrating! :)
Well, yes, that's an interesting question ... and I can't give you a definitive answer.
The first time I played the 16 / 12 and 8hz (filler) test tracks on this Bach organ LP, I heard nothing - even though I could see the stylus wobbling explosively from side to side.
With the new subs, I can now 'register' 16hz ... I think it is a combination of actually hearing something ... and feeling it.
But it is sensational! :-))
