Hello everybody!
I've been enjoying my XPL200's for quite some time now, but I am looking for a subwoofer to help ease the burden on the 2214H's, they aren't happy trying to reproduce low stuff at higher SPL's. I tried to mitigate that by swapping out my Ashly XR1000 for an XR2001 and while that will do the trick if I set the crossover point high enough, (Using slope of -6dB @ 45hz) the result is unsatisfactory low end performance at lower volumes. So I'm looking to find a passive subwoofer to compliment them (Intend to drive subwoofer(s) with a Crown K1). Ideally, it would be marvelous if I could find a JBL product to match them aesthetically and/or acoustically, but budget is also a factor. Didn't Rythmik make passive subwoofers? Velodyne SC-15? What about JBL professional gear? I started to look through the catalog from 1998 here http://www.lansingheritage.org/html/...s/1998-pro.htm and came across the MR918. Although I think that's too big, I'd like a 12 or a 15" in there. Also, the inputs look strange to me- how does one connect something like the MR918 to a "home" amplifier? What recommendations do you guys have?
