I have a pair of Dynaudio Focus 110 speakers in a large 5x10m room and im finding the bass lacking a little. Im currently using it for music and 2 channel surround for movies through my NAD C390DD amp. I dont want anything boomy, Just looking for a slight improvement in tight bass in my music and make explosions in movies more realistic (deeper). Can anyone recommend a sub to compliment these speakers under 1k? Not sure whether to go passive or active. I definitely want it to be able to integrate with the EQ test feature of my amp (which tweaks room bass) but dont know what features to look for to achieve this. Thanks in advance!

I own a pair of lovely Dynaudio Focus 110 speakers which were bought from a fellow SNA’r . Been wanting to buy a turntable for my setup but I feel as though my current amp just isn’t doing these great speakers (and eventually vinyl) justice, so im looking to upgrade. My setup is as follows: Rotel RA-840 amp, ipod ALAC files into Cambridge id100 dock, Cambridge DAC Magic plus. Connected with Bluejeans LC1RCA's, Belden 1694A Coax. Would like to keep the amp cost under 2k or there abouts. So I guess im going to need an integrated unless I go for a power/pre upgrade in stages as I save more money. Im new in the hifi scene and been doing a lot of reading but its all a bit daunting I must admit. Hoping to invest in a system that I will settle with for a long time and just focus on the music. My requirements are that I listen to music under 85db max. I listen to mainly electronica, hip-hop, indie pop – majorly synth music. Bass isn’t important to me, detail and and engaging soundstage at low volumes is, as well as a warm sound. Been reading about brands like naim,cyrus,primare and redgum but bewildered with so many options. Any opinions welcome, thanks in advance! Focus 110 Specs are as follows: Sensitivity (2.83 V/1 m) – 85db IEC Long Term Power Handling - >150 Watts Impedance (nominal) - 4 Ohms Frequency Response (±3 dB) - 45 Hz – 25 kHz
