Once upon a time I had a good quality budget HiFi...but that was a long time ago! I recently forked out on a new Amplifier in the hope that I could afford some B&W 704 spkrs before too long......but it's taking too long to save enough to buy them! So, with the core of my system being an Arcam A80 amp, and Arcam Alpha 5 CD player and, wait for it, Celestion Ditton 15 spkrs I hit on the idea of a subwoofer to bridge the wait for some B&W 704's or whatever they are by the time that I can afford them? Yes, I know that new spkrs would be better but unless you are my Bank Manager, keep that to yourself!
The Celestions sound a whole lot clearer driven by the A80 but have lost all the Bass that I enjoyed with my aging Sony Tuner/amp. I run my TV through the system and there's plenty of bass on that.... but hardly HiFi!
So what budget Sub could I get to work with this amp and how would I connect it? Don't get too technical now or I may doze off!
