Hi all,

I’m keen to try a single or dual W15s.  I use an active crossover were I can control levels to main and subwoofer amps as well as the crossover frequency and slope (12 or 24 Hz/octave). Two questions.

1. What sub amps drive the W15 well?
2. Given my external crossover, would a simple monoblock class d amp work?

Curious to hear what fans f the W15 are doing.

The Crown XLS 1000 and XLS1002 both synergize with the w15 very well. Don’t let the fact that they aren’t class A deter you. They also have built in crossovers, so you wouldn’t need that extra piece of equipment in your chain affecting your mains. I prefer the crossover slope of the XLS1000 but YMMV.

The only other amp I have tried was a Bryston 4B and used a capacitor/inductor crossover on the W15’s.  The Bryston was sluggish compared to the Crowns.

If you did want to use your crossover you could easily pick up an older Carver Class A. I have heard simple plate amps work.
