As I mentioned in another thread, I've just dipped my toes into the world of hifi with a NAD D 3020 and a pair of KEF Q100s. I'm very happy with this set-up, but I think my next move once I have the money will be to add a small sealed sub.
However, I have a question about how this will work with the NAD. It has a 3.5mm sub out on the back, and according to SVS SB-1000 or Rhythmik L12 (unless there are decent cheaper options that I'm not considering - it's really just for music, and don't need much power as I don't want to disturb the neighbors) and just set the crossover appropriately on the sub to blend with the speakers.
However, if in fact there is no functional high pass on the NAD, I wonder if I should get something that has speaker-level inputs and outputs, so that I can use the sub as a filter. The only sealed sub I've found in my general price range that does this is the NHT B10-d.
Or, is this not a big deal and will everything still sound good even with the Q100s putting out full-spectrum sound (KEF rates the Q100s down to 49Hz)?
What would you get if you were me, and how would you set it up? I'm hoping someone with experience will chime in. Thanks!
