Hi -
I have March Sointuva WG (v2) speakers.
I love/enjoy them but would like extension down to 20Hz and below.
I have 3 options:
1 - I own 2x Scanspeak Revelator 32W/4878T00 subwoofer drivers. Make two passive DIY subs with these. Use with Sointuva.
2 - Sell Sointuva (I know someone who might want to buy them) and buy Philharmonic BMR Towers (25Hz anechoic -> presumably full-range in room).
3 - Sell Sointuva ( ^ ) and buy March Ukkonen (32Hz -> near full range -> maybe good enough).
Things to consider
I paid a few grand for my power amp (Neurochrome), and designed/built many aspects of it myself - so it's the centrepiece of my system. As it is a full range amp, why not use its potential for full range speakers? ---> favours tower speakers
If I built subs I would need to sell my DAC and buy a MiniDSP Flex, AND buy an amplifier for the subs.
Subs take up a lot of room. And cables galore.
I wouldn't know where to put the subs.
March Audio is closer to where I live (New Zealand), than Philharmonic is.
Room is about 91 cubic metres (3200 cubic ft). "Medium size room" I would say.
Many thanks
