Hello,
first of all, I'm far from being a native english speaker, so please excuse the language mistakes.
My setup :
- Yamaha R-N803D
- Ditton 44 Series II
- Thorens TD 145
I’ve got also my PC linked up with a toslink wire to the amp, and I also use the streaming possibilities from the amp.
I am quite happy with the sound (this is my first Hi-Fi setup), except when I’m listening to reggae music (which represent something like 70%, the rest being mainly soul/jazz/african music that I really enjoy on this system). So I was thinking of adding a subwoofer to compensate for the (relative) lack of low frequencies. I did a quick satisfactory trial with a little sub from another room and I’m seeking advice to get a proper one.
My current choice is on an Arendal 1961 1S, which should be more than enough for my small listening room, but it seems a lot of money compared to the rest I bought second hand (~400 € for the amp and 250 € for the speakers).
Do you think this add would be a good solution to achieve a consistent result or should I consider rethinking the whole setup ?
I tend to think that I won’t find a better solution considering my musical tastes, but maybe I’m wrong.
My fear is that I didn’t find any solution to provide a high-pass filter for the speakers with my current amp, and I've been pondering over going for that nonetheless or finding other "bigger" (and probably vintage) speakers.
Thank you for your help.
