Yes, I get that. But if I cannot find a subwoofer solution that is compatible with my current setup, then I might just forget the whole thing. If the main (though not only) incentive is to get increased realism from organ music, then there's no point really in getting a subwoofer which cannot...

Yes, good point, but I would be expecting to be in the audience, not in the orchestra (I'm not an orchestral player).

My system is what it is - and I have to say I am very happy with it. I originally bought the SK01 for use with my Sennheiser HD650s: I added the speakers and Fosi V1.0B amp last month so that I can listen on speaskers when I don't want to use the headphones. The result, to my ears at least, is...

Thanks for the input so far.. will follow up on all suggestions! As far as I see, Rel subwoofers aren't sold on Amazon. If I had to return it for any reason, that could be a problem (I live in a remote place, no car). Amazon's 'no questions asked' returns is a big selling point for me. Which...

Hi. I'm thinking of adding a subwoofer to my relatively low-end (but highly satisfactory, IMHO!) system (one or two folks reading this may have also read my other, recent thread on this subject). The system in question is a HiFi Walker H2 ‘MP3’ player/Fosi SK01 preamp/Fosi v.1.0B amp/Micca...

Thanks (again) for the input guys. Bottom line though (or one of them!) is that the subwoofer must be available on Amazon (in the UK): buying from anywhere else presents too many potential problems if I need to return it (for one thing, I live in a small village - and I don't drive). If anyone...

There are a small number of subwoofers on Amazon that claim to go down to 25Hz in that price bracket, but perhaps not at -3db. I have just made a shortlist so far; I would look into specs/details more thoroughly before buying any of them, of course. I'll take a look at the ones you list as well...

I still have the gut feeling that few, if any, of my source music files (great as they sound on my budget system - just to recap: HiFi Walker H2 player/Fosi SK01 preamp/Fosi v.1.0B amp/Micca MB42X G2 speakers) include audio data for that ultra-low range of the spectrum (c.15Hz-25Hz). Not to say...

Hmmm, something else occurs to me (a bit late in the day!). Talking of church/pipe organ music here, people (including me) have been basing their stats on a real organ, situated in a church or concert hall. In that live environemnt, yes, the frequency may well go down to 14Hz or lower with...

3db? 6db?? 🤷‍♂️ Glad my question gave people an opprtunity to disagree ;) I am going to spend some time listening to organ music with just the speakers I have, no subwoofer, and see how it goes. They do sound pretty amazing by themselves, but let's see what Amazon's Black Friday deals bring, if...

I shan't be listening to any recordings the 64' reed from Sydney, so ... :sneaky: My maximum spend on a subwoofer is going to be £1000, and even then, yes, I am going to see what Black Friday brings in a month's time. The SVS PB-2000 Pro is in my Amazon basket, 'saved for later'. OK, it won't...

Thank you for the replies: being a musician rather than an audi 'techy', I am not sure I follow the finer details, but the general message is clear (and the bottom line, that (as mentioned in another thread I posted here), since I play and listen to the organ, a subwoofer that goes down to at...

I bought a pair of inexpensive (but wonderful, IMHO) Micca speakers last week - the response is rated by Micca at 55Hz-20,000Hz, but I tried some speaker tests today, including this one on YouTube: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URrEtyFSENc The speakers react impressively right from...

Thanks, the table is very useful. Probably won't do anything for a few weeks, but will post back should I take the plunge!

... not to mention the 64' pipes of the Royal Albert Hall organ in London (an organ I once got to play: amazing sensation when the 64' pipes are selected!! Would love to try out the famous Sydney Town Hall organ, with its 8Hz 64' Contra Trombone (!!!), but that's never gooing to happen, sadly...
