Lots of air= lots of subwoofer

After moving, my new listening space increased dramatically. My solo 10" sub just didn't do it. Now that I have moved up to two 15 inchers: the bass is truly being delivered. What I find especially satisfying, is not the heavy duty bass passages of recordings that really happen at high volumes, but the 4 string bass of a jazz quartet listening at very low volumes. The delicacy of prodigious bass at low volumes? I realize that is oxymoronish, but I think you understand what I'm trying to convey. Low volume bass (for instance, Missouri Skies) truly adds that gentle air movement that makes the music have another dimension; another feeling. Anybody with similar experiences? warren :-)

"I got rid of some bass nodes." That is one of the reasons two subwoofers are better than one. bass traps = (in my case) wife factor=no way=wife moving out. lol...

With your permission another possible equation is:

bass traps = (in my case) wife factor=no way=divorce lawyer=I'm moving out.

:-)))))))

Seriously, I recall months ago you were questioning the efficacy and sonic superiority of 2 subs. I'm glad everything worked out well for you. As you are finding, it is the only way to go. Congrats.

Here's a theory for you...

The relatively large amount of air movement from the 2 subs causes the sound from the main speakers to 'move about' such that there is a little less precision in your ability to localize the source of the sound, thereby creating space or 'air' around the image.

I noticed this kind of effect one day when I had my ceiling fan moving pretty fast. It caused a definite change in the sound from the speakers.

While my input isn't about a sub,I do understand good low info at lesser volumes. Going from Merlin MM to Sophia; and changing nothing else---I get it.--Think Lou Reeds "Walk on the Wild Side" Tonal bass,indeed.
