Title: Sub with Mini Torii?
Post by grinnell on 01/21/24 at 20:44:34

Hi,

I have my MT paired with Reference 3A de Capos

Its a nice combo but wondering about a more fuller sound and if a sub is the way to go. limited budget ($600) used is good.

any thoughts?

TIA

From what I understand, running a sub with an MT is very easy due to the "preamp out" on each channel. I don't personally run one with mine as I have it running through vintage 3-ways that are of good efficiency and bass. I don't feel I am missing anything.

If you do feel you are missing something, you may want to order a sub from somewhere that does free returns. That way you can try it and know for sure what you think. As far as getting one for your $600 budget, I am not sure. I have heard good things about REL and SVS but can't give advice beyond that.

Good luck.

Look at Parts Express subs.

Well within your price range.

i found a Kube 10b in the box used for less than 50% going to try that if it doesnt work out i can sell it an break even.

just want to boost the low end with my Ref 3A de Capos

I'm glad you found one at a good price. I bought every piece of audio gear I own used (except for my SE84UFO) with that same thought: If I decide not to keep it, I can sell it for what I paid.

I running it with the pre-outs, tried it with the speaker taps but got a strong hum. It does make a difference with my standmount Ref3A de Capos although i'm using it at a pretty low volume but it rounds out the sound.

Never should have listened to those Devore O/96s at Aural HiFi in Denver lol

I run my Torii MKIV 25th and my SE84C+ 25th mono’s with a sub through the RCA outputs. I would recommend to set the sub crossover just below the frequency range of your speakers, and play with the volume level so as not to overpower your main speakers.
