What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ?

Since joining the site I have noticed that a lot of you don't actually use a subwoofer. I was pretty surprised by this as I could never listen to any music without some good low-end, so, curious how many do and how many don't and if not, why.

Marty,

I completely missed your posts on 8-03. Don't know how but again, I agree with you there. Just because MA specs these 6.5" drivers to 43Hz doesn't mean a thing. BTW, very insightful posts too. Thanks

High accuracy midrange is (to me anyway) important, so I tend to prefer smaller drivers (no offense to Serge, my valet). I have some Silverline Preludes (a bargain...trust me) and an old REL sub with the beefiest 10" I've ever seen. By dialing in a proper amount of bass (that amount changes from recording to recording it seems, as does my taste, mood, and earwax buildup) a little magic can break out. "Serge...my dancing shoes please!"
