You need a subwoofer which can be equalised.Hi, was wondering if anyone had thoughts on what sub would pair best with a Hegel H390 + Focal Aria 948 combination..would it be a SVS or a REL (or neither) and if so which do you feel would add the right LF thump !

Cool, any thoughts on REL vs SVS in the context of a Hegel amp or does it not matter...newbie question !I have tried the Hegel 390 with my B&W's/Harbeths and use a REL T7i to fill out the bottom frequencies. Works well. I have heard the Rel T9i connected to a similar setup at a friends..and they are a little too much bass for my liking for two channel. I have also heard the Rel S5/S510 in a bigger room used with Hegel's and Focal's...huge soundstage and you need a big room. I keep my subs at a level where the bass is not too boomy...almost like you would not know that a sub is in there. I have no experience with Rhythmic or SVS subs.

Thanks for thisHaven't heard a rel sub, but for 2 channel Rel is the preference. You have Rythmik too. You need a listen depending on your room size
Cool, will keep this in mindYou need a subwoofer which can be equalised.
Elac ( sealed ones), Martin Logan are good options for subs with EQ feature via app.Cool, will keep this in mind
Thanks, it's a valid question, as per headcase as well...the room is large and unusually shaped..will do more R&D !With 948 do you really need a sub. Unless the room is really large for the speakers.
