Thought my Boston a26 didn't have enough bottom with my Nad D3020, so instead of buying new speakers with more bass i went to local hifi store in denmark and listen to som argon (not aragon) subwoofer after reading review's the 6" is okay but ported, the 10" not as precise and the 8" closed cabinet was the best, okay the 10" had a bit more power but with 2x30/65 watt in 8ohm and 89 db sensitivity i don't need a huge and powerfull subwoofer so the 8" i got, 175 £ with 2x2 meter van den hull clearwater for only 5.5£ for a meter (got a discount normal price is7.7£), found out using the terminals (speaker cable) i got a crossover (high pass) for the boston a26 depending on how i set it not a fixed crossover at 80 or 100hz which is used a lot . (75hz and about 9.30 on the volume knob)
The sub has 100watt rms,8" woofer, down to 40hz -3 db about 11 kg.
For the money i payed for the sub i don't think i could have used that and the money i would get for returning my boston's to buy speakers that could give me that extra bass (the bass is not loud all the time, it's discrete but it's definitely there when i play edm)
If you miss some bass from you 6.5" bookshelf speakers and don't have the space for 8" speakers, i do recommend a subwoofer even when it's only a 8" woofer, cause they do give you that extra bass i think you never can get from any cheap,reasonable priced 6.5" speakers
Listening to The sheffield lab drum and track disc the first 2 drum improvisations just sounds great at medium level
