Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
I have Hegal H160 with Fritz's new Carbon 7 MKII speakers and recently added a modest Definitive technology subzero sub and a Paradigm crossover.. My room is about the same size as yours and the sub does make a subtle difference in filling in the ...

Surprised no one has mentioned the Hegal AmpsĀ  or Krell. I have a Hegal H160 and have tested the Parasound Halo Integrated (did side by side comparison for one week) and to my ears and that of some experts - the Hegal won;Ā https://www.soundstageac...

I am taking the plunge - solid amp Hegal H160 or KRell with Revel M106 Bookshelf Speakers . I think the combination is strong between amp and speaker. Any thoughts? Also, will be selling my AV amp and 4 speakers :-)

Sorry hate auto typing. Will the Hegal accept a powered sub woofer? I thought it was pure 2 channel and I know from the Marantz that the sub woofer digs a little deeper than the b&w 685's by themselves. Thanks

Thank you all for taking the time to lend me your advise. My impression is, if connecting the Marantz to my TV is not a priority, I really am better off trading in the Marantz and the pair of B&W 686 S2's for a nice integrated amp to drive the...
