Subwoofer insight.


This is new territory to me. Current speakers are 2 way with frequency response of 60Hz-20KHz with +/- 2dB.  Sensitivity rated as 86dB. Chance to purchase a pair of REL 7 tis. I feel like I am missing something but will have to buy the subs to try out. My basic question is this. Does this purchase sound wise? I know what I am willing to spend but do you think I will notice an appreciable improvement.  I know that no one can listen through my ears but this is my first time doing this. Source is 75 watt integrated tube amp, McIntosh MA-2275. Thoughts appreciated. I am leaning towards going forward with the deal but would appreciate some feedback. Room is large and open, 28X38 feet with 9 foot ceilings. Thanks for any feedback.

I bought a KEF Kube 10b to use with a pair of LS50s.  I had planned to drive them with speaker-level input from an Ayre A7e integrated that has no other provision for a sub.  But I learned grounding the Ayre amp with connection to a sub could be disastrous.  I might try to return the unused sub to KEF, or use it for HT -- mostly cable TV, and free up a pair of Velodyne HGS-10s to use with the HGS-15s for four sub stereo.

Rwwear. No they don’t.

He meant HiLevel inputs.

There's nothing magical about SpeakOn.
IMO, they're just a $50 FanBoy addon.
