    Hi guys. So I've looked all over the internets on this one and I haven't been able to turn up much. Here's the situation. I have an old junky Sherwood sub that sounds pretty bad. I also have an orphan RBH bookshelf speaker that sounds pretty good. It turns out the RBH was a prototype...

    500C + Subwoofer Advice

    Hi all. Just had a 500C repaired and it sounds great. About bass response and potentially hooking up a subwoofer. My first question is about the need for a sub. I have a pair of Monitor Audio BX2's. They do the job, but lack bass, so with my previous X-202-B I was using an SVS SB1000 from...
