Do you think you need a subwoofer?

I have Klipsch Lascala's that don't dig real deep in the lower frequencies. That being said, I love the the tight realistic bass they provide. I don't want to ruin that sound with a slower muddy bass response that a subwoofer would provide. If I could find THAT perfect sub, I'd jump on it.

Dear Utahusker: As you posted LaScala maybe can/could give you clean in room response down to 50-55 Hz no deep bass.

Now, you don't have to loose what you have, the " idea " is to improve what you ( we ) have.

The La Scala woofer crossover is 400 Hz that tell us that that woofer works near 600 Hz, a wide frequency range that makes that the IMD go high and against quality performance.

if you can please read here to understand about and to understand how the subs can/could help to improve the quality performance of your home audio system:

Raul, that Soundstage article is the exact description of my own experience on integrating subwoofers with ESL pannels, thank you, relieves another myth from the global audiophile conciousness...something is hard to fight against even if your own experience proofs the contrary. This article gives me some fresh air and I feel more comfortable not beeing totaly wrong.

Dear Jloveys: Like in many other audio topics there are a lot of mis-understood on some subjects.
The subwwofer one is full of false myths and non know-how about and that's why not so many people can take the huge advantage of the subwoofer great quality improvement in almost any audio system.
