I apologize for reposting, but it does seem relevant at this point. After having my Stax F83's rebuilt, I realized that my NYAL OTL3 was not working well in the bass----at least the combination wasn't working. Perhaps it was because the Stax's drop to 4 ohms in the bass. Based on advice from this forum, including Lew, I decided to try a subwoofer, since I liked the rest of the range very much. I ordered RM's crossover and subwoofers, along with an inexpensive used SS amplifier. I won't deny that there were some tradeoffs, but overall I am extremely happy with the result. The woofers integrate well with the speakers, the midrange and trebles sound better to me, not worse, and I am more confident in the longevity and robustness of my system. Roger says these new woofers are much better than the ones included with the original Beveridge's.
