Dynaudio Contour S3.4 users: sub required?

Hello --

A question for owners of this speaker... I have Contour 1.3SEs at the moment, but a sub is required for true full-range listening (for my purposes, I need to hear everything from 50hz down to 20hz, which is hard with just the 1.3SEs alone).

Do any of you with the S3.4s feel the need for a sub? Is 20Hz represented, at least in part? I realize they are only rated to 35hz.

Thanks,
Carl

although in-room response may better the 35hz(with presumely some roll-off)I doubt it will fulfill your stated needs.my c4's reach mid-twenties hz at best.

I currently own the dyaudio 1.3 se and have moved up to a more powerful Amp. this speaker can provide deep enough bass with the right equip. I did have the Sim audio w-3 amp 150w and now have the Musical fidelity 350w amp. big bass difference. I think a sub would ruin the sound unless it was used strictly for home theatre.
another option would be for the price of a sub you could move up to the special 25 which provide more bass and the same great sound as the 1.3se.

You probably have long since resolved this issue, but just in case...

I have owned the 3.4's for approx. 3 years now in a dedicated two channel system. I have never really felt that anything was missing in the low end with these speakers. Did you ever move to a pair of 3.4's and have you tried them with a sub?
