Rel subs with Magnepan 3.6's


What Rel subs (I plan on buying 2) on a budget work well for 2 channel using Magnepan 3.6's? My room is roughly 14x35 with my system on the long wall. The ONLY other sub I am considering is SVS SB2000. However strongly leaning towards Rel as they hook up to the amps, so better synergy. Thanks for any input!

Another vote for the Rythmik Audio F15HP. Get 2. Build quality on these is second to none. I’m using one with my 3.6s as well some subwoofer towers.

I like the idea of the open baffle/ dipole except for the extra build work involved. Despite the theory, I’m not sure given the large wavelengths at sub frequencies OB/dipole subs would make that much difference in room modes. You could use minidsp /REW to flatten the response and equalize the subs (only) at the listening position and possibly end up with a better result.

Oh, You’ll have useable response to below 20 Hz with the F15HP.
