Help
Well I finally got to hear and see one thats a DVD5. I have to say picture was very good, it was run through the DVI output to a sim2 projector. The sound was very detailed although no sub was being used. It really felt like it had cinematic ability. The shop have put a deal on the table for me to get one. So I am going to arrange a home demo some time soon. Never had a chance to hear on two channel with CD.
I do however need the forums help on another matter, I have never liked subs and really don't know much about them but have decided to add one to the system. The current system being Snell speakers front/centre, Linns on rear, Av2, Bryston five channel power amp and Meridian DVD player.
Should I go for the Naim sub, B&W whose speakers I have liked for some time, Velodyne or a Rel the budget is about a £1000, can't push it much more than that. So if you could help me with any makes models or suggetions there's an easter egg in it for ya

Ps tried the Velodyne SPL800 and it sounded lost and didn't seem to add much to the system

Most of the B&W subs don't have high level conections so you'd have to find a way to drive one with low level phono connections if you want to use it in a Naim stereo system. Special cable from a HiCap possibly? Does the DVD5 have a "sub-out" socket?
An HT system without a subwoofer is like an HT system without a screen. Neither option makes much sense.
