Hello all,

I'm joining mainly to discuss and learn about subwoofers, IB, OB, sealed box, etc. My dedicated system is built around floor-to-ceiling electrostatics, and 4x10 inch dynamic woofers, digitally crossed over at around 300hz. I use digital room correction. I have a secondary system also with electrostatics. I'm considering adding subwoofers to both systems.

I have found that it is important to match radiation patterns.  Your main speakers (ESL's) are dipoles; for best results your subs should be dipoles too. I tried lots of box subs but never could get them to match up. I am now using a three-stack per side of the  GR Research 12" OB servos and they match up very well. Welcome to the forum.
