Sub with Mini Torii?
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'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.
