Wondering how well a sub would integrate with the BMR1 speakers given their limited bass — seems like there might be a awkward gap with many subs. Assuming they are -6 db at 80 Hz vs. a competitive product like the Audio Engine A2s which are only -2 db at 65 Hz (a speaker I have used with a sub). So wondering if. the BMR1s lowest bass might be well above the range where a sub would integrate well with the overall sound. But I could be wrong.

Well, the Audioengine A1 may be a better comparison because it’s $200 and has Bluetooth, but both of those “baby speakers” cost more than the $129 BMR1, have a wider footprint compared to the vertical orientation BMR1, and are more directional and don’t work as well horizontally (if you can even fit the AE’s under your monitor). Both the Audioengine A2+ and BMR1 have standard, non-proprietary Sub outputs, which really helps them to be modular. And neither can extend to the lowest audible notes without a sub… … but with that said, the proof will be in the pudding, and how the speakers are tuned. The BMR1 may not have the deepest sub-bass extension, but it could still have a solid and warm sound. For people who do decide to add a sub, most subwoofers have little difficulty reaching “up” to 120 hz or 160 hz, so they should blend and integrate fine.

EvshrugThanks. I guess it all depends on how the BMR1 mid-range sound vs. the A2+. Best, -alan
