Thinking about those Tuba 18's and was wondering if they would work as a lower octave bass driver to supplement my Klipsch Heresy II's. Does anyone know if the T18's could keep up with the 97 db/1watt sensitivity of the Heresys? The Heresys are already in the corners and about 15" off the floor on stands and sound fairly adequate, but i want more bass. The T18's are just the right size to use as speaker stands. Any thoughts?

Hey man, welcome to the forum. I'm from Georgia so not too far off. I can't answer your questions really, but watch out about using them as stands, I supposed unless the room is pretty small. Most around here couple subs together, but it sounds like you're doing HT? Have you looked a the other HT Tubas in addition to the T18?

Table Tuba would be the smallest logical choice. Simple rule of thumb: subs should be at least twice the size of the mains they're used with. And with rare exception placing subs below mains is a bad idea. The best placement for subs and mains seldom share the same footprint.
