Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music

Thank you, Erik. I have subs now, but I'm not against selling them if this is equally good. 

Hey @Hilde45

I’m definitely not encouraging you not to use them. :) I hope the article instead gives you ideas about how to get the most out of what you got.

In a modest living room, well treated, with modest volumes I got pretty happy. That’s not to say that integrating a sub wouldn’t improve the dynamic range and clarity, but rather that as the 2 way system gets better it gets harder and harder for me to justify the extra lift to put a sub in. I may still for the sake of the blog. :)

Unfortunately for a lot of audiophiles they go from 2-ways with OK bass to 2 ways with crappy sounding subs. :-)  I'm hoping these articles help readers get to 2 ways with great bass OR 2 ways with a great sounding subwoofer by measuring the output and making informed decisions.

I hear you, Erik. What I meant to say was that I'm learning that the initial way of going as an audiophile is toward "more" but you're explaining how "less" can be "more," and I want to be open to that.
