Search Swarm subwoofer, distributed bass array or DBA, and read posts on subs by millercarbon, noble100, and Audiokinesis, hallowed be thy name.
Do I need a sub?
Would I benefit from even a small sub?
Energy rc-70s’
dual 6” woofs, bass is there, but would a sub remove the lowest freq, and give the small drivers a break, and sound better?
would it help,? I play loud once in a while, would the low freq removed from the main tower drivers make a better sound, I don’t think I would need much more than a 10 or 12” sub.
Powered or unpowered?
thoughts?
thanks

We've beaten this subject to death. Short answer: You can have one, but you don't absolutely have to have one. Take a look at this thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/there-s-a-lot-more-bass-in-a-6-5-driver-than-most-of-you-thin... If you feel you are missing slam, maybe look into improving the speaker placement or adding room acoustics. They may give you more for your dollar without adding a new speaker which may be hard to fit acoustically. Best, E |
