The MEN220 might work OK, but you will have to get input from people who use its crossover function with a sub. PAGING MEN220 owners using the crossover function with subwoofers!! |

I have used the crossover function with the subwoofer and liked the results.... but am currently using the high level input into the REL G-1 (thus also the REL's crossover). I admit that I am biased.....

The separate active crossover enables you to (forgive my analogy) convert a three way main speaker into a four-way system WITH the sub, instead of having a three way main speaker AND a separate sub. The crossover enables more seamless integration of the sub, instead of merely an addition of a sub. (I hope my analogy was OK) BTW, the photo you posted is of the 10B-STD. It looks exactly like the 10B-SUB, but I can read the frequency crossover choices, and what I see are the ones on the 10B-STD. The 10B-SUB has more finely divided and lower frequency choices. Bryston may be using the same photo for each piece on their website. Last edited by GaryProtein; 08-13-2012 at 10:20 PM. |

If you want to change the sound quite a bit, open it up with greater transparency quickness and slam (but perhaps less color)--switch from Lamms to Dags. If you want the same sound as you have only with greater height, width and slam--move to the Maxx 3. IMHO Maxx 3 exceeds Sasha in most ways, but not all ways. Sashas are seamless---almost like monitors--- a trick which Maxx cannot quite duplicate. In most other ways Maxx are phenomenal.

I tried the Bryston and it totally sucked the life out of the sound, not at all transparent IMO.

Let me also say that Sasha's and MAXXes are ideal for Thors. The bass quality matches/blends perfectly. If anything, Thor bass is quicker and better than Sasha/MAXX bass. I say again if I had to choose between a Sasha/Thor/Watch Controller combo vs. a MAXX3, I'd choose the former hands down, no contest. Let me also say that as far as pieces of equipment go, the Wilson Watch Controller is the best piece of electronics as far as transparency is concerned that I have ever had in my system. There are certain secrets for remarkable improvements in sound that folks are either unaware of or simply don't believe. The Thor/Wilson Watch Controller is one of them. I just lucked into my present system. The sub came available at an unbelievable price and so did the Controller. Let me say again, in all my years in audio I have never seen such a piece of equipment as the Thor subwoofer, and in addition the Watch Controller. Last edited by Charles; 08-15-2012 at 10:03 AM. |
