Do you think you need a subwoofer?

Dear Sirspeedy: This is what Gmorris posted in this thread sometime ago:

+++++ " To fully recreate the recording space you need the lower octaves even if the recording involves instruments sans the lower registers.

I was surprised at the improvements in detail and ambience retrieval with increased delicacy as a result of the subs on all types of recordings.

Adding a second sub to complete the stereo pair, improved the overall presentation markedly (some folkes claim that low bass is nondirectional and thus one sw is sufficient, but a stereo pair improved everything). The subs also made the overall presentation more articulate and dynamic. " +++++

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Raul,I am happy for G.Morris.

Best.

Dear mark: Yes, I'm only posted as a reference/opinion.

Have a good time.

Raul,you did not do your homework -:)

Since I assume you are still trying to convince "me" about the "why" I should add a second sub in my own set-up....
Well G.Morris "is" someone I like,and trust.....BUT....he has a completely different speaker/presentation/configuration/room than me.Also,my own speaker goes lower in freq(with more low freq weight than the "superb",but a bit rolled off Maggies.I know them extremely well,so I post from experience,not theory.

Besides -:)....I absolutely "love" my current "full range" sound.No complaints,other than still waiting for my table(coming on the 24th).My new Phantom and Orpheus "need" to play some vinyl!!

Raul,there are some times(I say this from experience)when things can be screwed up,if taken too far.In my room,with my equipment,and the "still surprising me daily" Ascent MK-II's I feel(from listening observation)that I can too easily make a mistake by adding a second sub,for "only" the lowest frequencies.Which(btw) I can "do" quite well,as of now!

Hope you can understand my point of view.

Best regards.

Raul,one other point.....Please re-read the "last" line,in your original "Post"!!

You ask us to let you know "what we think"!

I,and some others have done that,and you STILL adhere to your "own" specific agenda(nothing wrong with that,btw).Yet,you seem to become contrary to any opposing views.Under "some" circumstances....like,"maybe some of us are really happy already,and(miraculously)actually have very good,"linear" low frequencies....because ALL rooms are different,in how they support bass"!!!

My own point(which is ONLY in MY room,with MY PARTICULAR set-up)is that "SOME" rooms,and particular speakers/system set-ups may not necessarily benefit much by a second sub.SOMETIMES,and it is NOT uncommon!!
If you don't agree with the somewhat opposing thoughts,then I suggest you re-word the "last line"(of your post),to read.....

"What do you think,so I(Raul) can disagree,and tell you so,if the information is NOT to my way of thinking"!!

Best,as always,
Mark -:)
