I use a powered sub, low passed around 50 - 55 hz or so to fill in just the low end. It's positioned just to the right of the right speaker and, of course, it took a bit of experimentation to find it's optimum placement in the room.

Once the placement, crossover and level were set, it blended in quite well with the rest of the system and was virtually undetectable. It was only noticed on some music with conetent "down there" and even then, moreso when it was shut off, it's lack was noticed.
My set up with the Maggie 1.6's is identical to Markw's. And it works very well.
