Hi divertiti,
As someone who has had a variety of two channel monitors over a long period, differing rooms and challenges, I've discovered that a pair of subs properly matched to the personality of your mains is terrific. My sealed subs are positioned below my monitors, with a radiating pattern that integrates nicely with the mains in a fairly nearfield, small room, well away from front and side walls. My pro dac steeply rolls off 80hz down to their tube amp for the mains and the subs from 80 down to the high 20's with purity and resolve. This arrangement makes for a very coherent and near full range presentation. The disappearing tricks of great monitors, staging, et al work their magic, with appropriate slam. I considered a swarm but decided against it in a small studio. Bonne chance, divertiti! More Peace, Pin
