About this deal

am i able to add bit of bass or is sub going to be banging my floor and walls even on a low setting? I tried with quite a few subs like my REL's, BK Electric & a couple of others at the time but there was too much of a separation - it was quite evident. You really need to get a subwoofer which has a Frequency Response figure of +/- 3Db that goes up to at least 150Hz. Yes, Gemini II has the same connections as REL. You can connect it with high level or low level (LFE). There was Gemini I and now II with larger driver. Both manufacturers are well known from subwoofers. The main difference is BK makes the products in UK and sells them direct to customer with lower price as one less middle man. With REL they design them in UK and build in China like most products these days. Then they are sold by dealer. With an AVR the Min 12/22 speakers should be set to ‘small’ with a crossover frequency of 140Hz. In this configuration, power handling is considerably increased.

Right now, I have a 10" Cambridge Audio Aero 9 (used to also have the 10" X500), a 10" XTZ 99W10.16 & a Velodyne SPL-800 Ultra - this one only goes up to 135Hz but works in my situation due to it being a small room & the sub is placed right next to the speakers. This should give you an idea of the types of subs to use/get. I do not use all three - it was just part of my quest to find the best suited subwoofer for the Minx Speakers!! It may be the smallest in the family of Minx subs but don't underestimate the power of the X200! Like the other Minx subs, the X201 uses unique Cambridge technology to produce a bass response that is both powerful and tuneful. At the heart of the X201 beats Cambridge Audio's sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processor). When combined with the digital amplifier, this provides exceptional bass from what is one of the world's smallest subwoofers. To maximise this advantage the bass cones are constructed of one-piece, aerospace grade aluminium. This audio device was created by Cambridge Audio, a British audio manufacturer. Buy upmarket, top quality sound. For five decades they has been consistently inspiring audio connoisseurs with world class audio. Minx X201 is an active configuration. Therefore the amp is built in. Active amps connect to devices such as radios, record players and computers directly. Great for your HiFi System

If you're in any doubt about the quality of this system then take a look at what the reviewers have been saying. "Well, Bose is about to get a sound thrashing from the British boys at Cambridge Audio, whose brand-new Minx is even smaller than Acoustimass - especially the subwoofer - and simply better. Much, much better." Jonathan Margolis, Financial Times. And, "To say we were impressed is a gross understatement." T3 i was happy with my spektor 2 with a marantz amp i had but i exchanged the marantz after few months for this denon because the software kept messing up for radio At just under 9" cubed, it's hard to find a subwoofer this powerful that's smaller than the Minx X201. What's so great about that? Its diminutive size will make this sub incredibly easy to place in your living room. Under a side table, in a corner, next to your entertainment stand — you can place it almost anywhere without sacrificing your style. And like all Cambridge Audio Minx speakers, the X201 is carefully designed to deliver the purest sound, whether you're enjoying a live classical concert or an adrenaline-pumping car chase. Using a single, BMR drive unit, the MIN 12 satellite speakers give pinpoint accuracy and are bursting with detail right up to high volume levels. BMR technology combines the advantages of both flat panel and conventional speakers, so that the MIN12 satellites won't turn harsh or brittle when the music or film action gets intense. Many subwoofers require you to change settings from behind the device. This is not only inconvenient but can also mean you have to continually adjust the sound throughout a dynamic movie to produce the best tones. When you control your subwoofer from your smartphone, however, changing these settings is much easier. In fact, you can control all of the ELAC Debut 2.0 SUB3010’s functions through your phone, including output levels and equalization. Details:

The smartphone or tablet controls mean you can adjust the ELAC Debut 2.0 whenever you want from wherever you want.The Sony manual says to crank up the crossover to it's highest setting on the subwoofer and set the volume to half way then do a calibration to allow the AVR to set the correct crossover frequency for it. The AVR set the speakers crossover to 140hz. my room is tiny, depth of my room is around 6ft, and around 9ft wide with a stupid annoying airing cupboard bolier in my room in the corner which make room smaller SONOS continually strives to provide quality products that exceed expectations. The SONOS Sub is no exception here. Easily integrated into your SONOS surround sound system, the Sub takes only seconds to set up. Like all other SONOS components, full control is available through your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet device. Details: powered subwoofer. These RCA outputs pass-through a full-range audio signal and are unaltered by the powered sub's volume, crossover, or phase control settings. Enjoy genuine hi-fi sound quality but demand discreet style? Then take a look at the ground-breaking Cambridge Audio Minx system!

Regarding your Dali Sub - I thought it might be an issue as I remember looking at the 10" or 12" version of your sub to match my Mins but discounted it as it only goes up to 120Hz. Although your AVR may give the correct setting to use, if your sub cannot go that high then you will most definitely have a "Hole" or "Gap" in the sound & I am afraid to tell you you most certainly will. Strong wireless connectivity means you can connect and control the SONOS Sub from anywhere in the room. Unless it is a very potent performer, I personally would not get a 8" Sub as it will show its limits fairly early on - my Velodyne being an example of an exception to this. I would look at 10" subs ideally & maybe even a 12" one. I strongly urge you to change your sub if you wish to really bring about the best sound & balance from your system.It may be the smallest in the family of Minx subs but don't underestimate the power of the X201! Like the other Minx subs, the X201 uses unique Cambridge technology to produce a bass response that is both powerful and tuneful. At the heart of the X201 beats Cambridge Audio's sophisticated DSP (Digital Signal Processor). When combined with the digital amplifier, this provides exceptional bass from what is one of the world's smallest subwoofers. To maximise this advantage the bass cones are constructed of one-piece, aerospace grade aluminium. am just looking to add enough bass in the sub setting for my room were i can make this flat denon into helping feeling the music more adding some punch on this denon i dont go above +1 bass as it a;ready becomes to muddy and max bass not feel great this not the most puchy amp you will hear, my previous marantz was hugely more punchy
