[net.audio] info on subwoofers desired

I'm also interested in subwoofers.  My brother plans to add one to his system
soon, and asked me to ask around.

He currently has an almost-all-NAD system with a Revox linear-tracking table.
He plans to use a separate NAD amp to drive the subwoofer, and would like some
suggestions on crossovers (between his NAD preamp and the bass/everything-else
NAD amps) and the subwoofers themselves.  Any ideas?

BTW, he has an M.S. in music.  Since his instrument is tuba, he is "into" bass!

PS:  He's also looking at the NAD CD player.  (Let's hear it for subject 
drift!)  Anybody heard anything good/bad about it?  Does it use the Phillips 
quadruple-hyperdrive decoding system, or the more pedestrian double-barrel 
carburetor?  :-)  Tnx!  GF

I am interested in any war stories involving subwoofers.  I read the
current issue of Stereo Review which has an article by J. Hirsch about
them and they sound like a good idea.  In particular, I would like to
know which manufacturers make respectable units.  In the same issue
of S.R., DAK advertises a Cerwin Vega subwoofer.  Since DAK offers a
30-day trial, I thought I might give it a try.

This is my first attempt at posting to the net although I've been reading
several groups for the past few months.  Therefore, I don't know my full 
address.
