But staying on the subwoofer question--won't adding an active sub with, say, 1,000 watts supporting the low end, take a huge load off the power amp? If yes, doesn't that change your answer on the MC275? I ask because I don't think there is any amount of power that will bring strong bass to the Sabrinas (even glowing reviews acknowledge this)


Assuming the MC275 clips, (big if) offloading the lower end would help but it would require a crossover to remove the low frequencies from the MC275 input signal. And then, it may depend on what crossover frequency is used.
