Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Best sub to complement M22's ?

Hi,

I love my M22's but I would love to hear the notes below 60hz.

My mean interests are classical and jazz. I am fond of one bassist, Alain Caron, who plays with amazing velocity. The M22's provide tight bass but I just know some of the notes seem to be fade in the lower register.

After spending an hour at the local Future Shop, I purchased a discounted Energy ESW-C10 sub for 249$, which sounded clean, tight and punchy at the time, compared to the other subs on display (Polk, Velodyne and Klipsch).

Once home, the sub sounded like the sub in my neighbour's Honda Civic - booming, muddy and overpowering except at the very lowest volume setting. It was ruining the M22 tight response and it will go back to FS tomorrow.

Any suggestions ? The EP-175 is at the absolute budget limit.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.
