Hi to all. I am a 2ch audio enthusiast and listen to Jazz, Blue's, Rock, Classical and Vocal music. I've been a member of the Audioreview forum and Audio Circles forum for a while now.
I joined this forum because I have a question about the ML Grotto i sub. I'm looking to add a sub to my Magnepan 1.6's for music only and I'm interested in the Grotto. My local dealer has been sold out and it may be a few weeks before he gets one in to audition. My question is how does it compare to the Abyss which can be found at huge discounts? I am also considering a few REL subs which sound awesome with the Maggies. I'm looking at the REL 305 and Britannia B3 as well as a used REL Stada III. I also like the Velodyne DD-10, especially since it comes with a remote control, equalizer and adjustable high gain servo.
I want a sub thats fast, musical and disappears. I want it to also to lend to the overall warmth as the REL subs did when I auditioned them with the 1.6's. I'm not a bass fanatic and my room is 17x17x9.5 feet. I'm going to be hooking up the sub to the speaker level inputs with the cross overs set to 40-50Hz and the Maggies run full range. I'm not looking for a 15" sub and prefer a smaller sub. I have an 8" velodyne sub that I use for HT use and it fills the room with plenty of smooth bass.
Any input about the Grotto would be much appreciated.
Thanks to all!
Larry
