In Reply to: REVIEW: Vandersteen Audio 2Ce Speakers posted by Rufipennis on August 25, 2007 at 22:12:59:
If you wanted to go for the lowest octave and get some Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers, not only would your overall performance increase (assuming you are interested in the lowest bass), but the powered 2Wqs could relieve your main amps of some significant work. Power is increasingly handed off to the subs as you go below about 100 Hz by virtue of the crossover design. I don't really know how much this would do for you in a quantitative way, but in principle it could make a real difference. Then you get excellent performance to 20 Hz, and quite possibly your present amp will never run out of steam. Just a thought. Of course two subs would cost more than your speakers, but the result could be a extremely impressive speaker.
