Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
Interesting setup, Subzero with a Paradigm crossover...appreciate the input. Seems there are many ways to this so It's nice to get all the options on the table and that is a new one!   Thanks,

Hmmm.>I suggest that you look for a 12-inch dual VOICE COIL system.Not seeing a lot of those advertised?Ben

Well, after toying a little more with the node2i it seems the audio gain when streaming from sources "other than" iPhone is really quite good. Streaming from Synology NAS, and online content has me locking the Hegel H160 at about 65% volume and ru...

Has anyone tested the Dynaudio Sub 3 or 6?For just extending the lower frequencies on a 2 channel system they look viable.

That's with the node2 at max output.Apparently the gain on the Hegel network interface (AirPlay) is way higher than the other digital and analog inputs.So now I have the opposite problem, yes iTunes users will not be able to crank the volume to 10...

There is however one thing I don't like with node2, streaming under Hegel H160 network interface I need about 47 on volume for max gain with my speakers (SF Concerto). To match that volume on node2 you have to go up to about 76 on the volume. Same...

Node-2 arrived today and integrated immediately with the Hegel H160, I think the DAC sounds equal and the issue of managing volume is resolved. Thanks to all who voiced opinions, I appreciate that others with  experience are willing to share.Ben

That agrees with what Randy at JL Audio was telling me....

I really appreciate all the insight from folks who have implemented sub based systems and have empirical results to judge by.Very helpful for a newbee. Thanks guys.

I wonder how much difference you would hear between 10" and 12" subwoofers?

Thanks, What speakers did you add it to?

H160 has variable Line Level (RCA) right, left and the node2i I'm adding will also have sub out.I'd like to get both R+L into the subwoofer.Some controversy with adding REL high level off the speaker outputs. Hegel says no don't do it and REL says...

Comparing the options Node2i, Yamaha WXC-50, LUMIN, AURALIC,miniDSP SHD ... Unless I'm missing something, I'm thinking node2i is probably the best bang for the buck and least risk. Have to give up the EQ option but ...we can figure that out later....

I like LUMIN specs a lot, but the price tells me they are targeting folks with pro audio equipment. Appreciate all the info, this has become a more interesting hunt then I had anticipated.My limited experience and testing has shown me that one thi...
