Recommended Subwoofer for Spica TC 50's ?

Thanks to all for some great advice so far. An extremely gracious fellow recommeded upgrading my Spica's crossovers with new wire and Auricaps- and supplied instructions also !

Upgrades aside (time restrictions), the most common recommendation for the Spica's weak low end is a subwoofer. Which ones are recommended (preferably at a lower price point than Velodynes or Rel's. Any comments on budget components like the Athena or PSB ? Other brands ?

Look for a used pair of Spica subs. They are not expensive, mate perfectly with the speaker but don't go really low.

I use a Velodyne servo subwoofer (FSX-12) that is not its current model with my TC-50s. It was $1200 new, but as it's been discontinued, you may be able to find one at a dealer for around $600 or even cheaper used. It blends seemlesly, whether you run your speakers full range or use the high pass crossover.

I used a vandersteen 2w.It was a match made in heaven.Make sure you get the adjusable x-over and experiment with the settings ,then have vandersteen whip you up a good hardwire inline x-over.Use a third TC-50 for the center.And the fourth for the ES ch.Good luck!Boy do I miss my old TC-50's
