Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution

There is more than one way to implement a multi-sub system. For a long time the idea of using any sub in my system wasn't an option. Didn't see the need for them and systems I heard that had a sub(s) in them were not to my liking.

The idea of the distributed bass array made sense to me. It certainly had some science and research behind it. Whether one agrees with it or not is another matter. Since I work with someone who also makes speakers I ran the idea past him. He agreed in principle and actually read Geddes work and supported it. So I figured at that point what did I have to lose. With his help I was able to put together my own array and it has made a significant difference in my room and my system. I should also note that while I do use 4 speakers in my array, my friend just uses 2.

Since this topic has been popular around here of late I have learned even more. I have tweaked my array with the assistance of another member here, mijostyn, to leverage the specific type of speaker I use. Again, a marked improvement. It's good to have options and I would also agree with Raul that quality trumps quantity. It is unfortunate that around here we sometimes have to sift through some unpleasant minutiae to get value from what is posted, but that's what filters are for.

Hello millercarbon,

     Very good post, well worded, sincere and I definitely know it's honest and accurate.  I think Duke helping you with advise even though he knew you were building a DIY clone of his 4-sub Audio Kinesis Swarm system was unexpected, unselfish,says a lot about his priorities and was just very cool.

Enjoy,

Dear @audiokinesis  : What you posted was exactly this that I pasted from other thread:

"""  """ You can get good bass in one sweet spot with two equalized subs """

the words: not 3-4 but 2 were only to emphasis that you talks of two subs. In the same way the word " enough " that for the 99% of good low bass range at one seat position with high quality levels is enough.

I don't care about HT needs.

For two channels systems dedicated to listen only MUSIC the name of the game is QUALITY all over the room/system frequency range.

To other gentleman I posted in this thread:

"""  Example: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/615 

do you think that the owner of this two channels room/system could " live " with 2-4 or what ever number of subs you name it of Rythmik subwoofers/DBs instead those self powered/active subwoofers towers that can go down to 3hz with almost no distortion levels at full power? """

that's top quality level in a dream dedicated MUSIC room/system. Obviously that only a few gentlemans ca own and enjoyb that quality levels but other audiophiles can do it some steps down with optimal quality levels that gentlemans like noble can't even imagine what really means quality. I already posted here that his attituted is a " robotic " one because he has a tatoos of number 4 and one model by SVS that even is not a true subwoofer.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Maybe problem is that each one of us usually can think that what we own is the " best of the best ". That does not exist quality levels where belongs each room/system

There are low/poor quality, lower quality, medium or so so quality, top quality and the like. Quality is a ladder that where we need to learn how to go up step by step.

I already left clear with his own facts/statement why noble100  system  is a poor quality level  and he needs to learn about that ladder quality steps/treads because many of us just do not want that low qualityn levls.

Knowledge levels through first hand experiences helps a lot to learn about..

Hello rauliruegas,

       Did you read the responding post I directed to you yesterday 8/15/19?  If not, here is a direct quote addressed to you from my earlier post:
"I agree with you that using better quality subs will only improve the quality of bass reproduced. I think this is true whether one uses a single sub or multiple subs."

     I appreciate, respect and understand the importance of good quality in almost everything, especially in things I decide to purchase or am considering purchasing.  What I don't appreciate, respect or understand is why you believe you made it clear to me, with my own facts and statements, that my system is of poor quality.  I must have missed that deftly executed revelation you so kindly presented to me, using my own words no less.  Well played, mi amigo, well played.

Later,
Tim
