Stama Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi everyone I want to add a sub to my system. I current have a Yamaha HTR6068 receiver with a pair of Monitor Audio bookshelf speakers. I was looking at the Musiccast Sub100 however believe it's not compatible since my AVR doesn't have 5Ghz to connect yo the sub wirelessly. I can pick up the Musiccast sub 100 very cheap (~$200 new) so have the following questions 1) if I don't want to spend much more, is this good bang for buck even if I connect it using wires to the AVR? or can I find something better with a small budget (I realise I will probably be limited to second hand) 2) I don't have a lot of space so ideally would place something under the couch, does anything like this exist at the cheaper end of the market? Or a slimline that doesn't take up much room Thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stama Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) It's an open plan lounge and dining, about 35sqm all up. The only place I can really put the sub would be in a corner, unless under the couch Edited June 29, 2020 by Stama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stama Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) I don't know if 35sqm is considered small (for a sub), by small space I was more referring to the actually placement spot Edited June 29, 2020 by Stama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stama Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Another silly question, do I look for a passive or active one? For connecting to my AVR Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stama Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks Hooked on Hifi, appreciate it. Now to begin the hunt Any recommendations on something good bang for buck to begin looking/listening to, would be greatly appreciated Edited June 29, 2020 by Stama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre28 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Put a wanted ad up on the forum with your location, I bet there would be a few people looking to offload a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
