tigi Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 TBI Magellan Xu subs - pair TBI 200su mono power amps i will be listings these on TM soon, but if anyone is interested let me know. I bought these from a guy who had swapped them out for the 225 bass units on his Avantgarde Duos. I bought them to go with my DIY front horns... currently set up and doing a nice job with martin Logan electrostatics. ( Much better match than my previous REL Storm.) Excerpt from Dan Dzubans review in Stereo Times to high. So what the Magellans did was pull off a disappearing act equivalent to what a pair of Quads do. There was no trace of them in my listening room. I was left with just the music. My work as a reviewer gets easier in this situation. There was little sonic signature to give away the subs' presence so there was little to describe its sound. What I heard was as much pitch definition, individual note definition, beat definition, leading edge definition, and trailing edge definition as I had ever heard from a speaker reproducing bass, let alone from a subwoofer. The Magellans didn't just keep up with the speed of the Quads: for all intent and purposes, they had become part of the Quads. Yet, the Magellans provided the bass impact and tactile sensation that Quads had been unable to provide on their own. The additional low bass support also gave the Quads more apparent dynamics. As a result, I felt as though I had come closer to reproducing a live performance than ever before. http://www.stereotimes.com/speak112204.shtml 6 moon review: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/vbt/magellan8.html
enzedone Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 From the pic on their webpage it looks if they have stereo in/out. So you could run one unit for dual base drivers if you wanted?

Hi, not quite sure what you mean but they are passive subs so need amplifiers, and they can be used as a pair for stereo subs or (as is more typical) as a single sub. For my horns I needed a high crossover so had to have a pair... plus stereo subs are :cool:

ravey_dave Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 I've started an auction for one of Tigi's subs on TM (there's 2 for sale) and a bunch of other stereo goodies. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=315960785 Thanks for looking!
