Kinda disappointing to start a thread then walk away for two days.
Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music
I've updated my blog post with more data, more analysis and the conclusion that in my particular case I do not need a subwoofer. I encourage everyone who is on the fence about adding a subwoofer or not to read and comment. I think that either way you'll be able to make more informed buying and configuration choices.
Everyone's situation is different but I hope the post helps you get to the right conclusions.

You never reproduce the intention unless your room and speakers match the mixing room. DSP no more spoils anything anymore than your Dunlavy speakers or listening room chair. |
@pennpencil Those symptoms are classic indicators that you have a room mode problem. Narrow, tall peaks which certain music is hitting and preventing you from setting your subs to a more neutral position.

miniDSP has a number of DSP's with pure digital I/O, among them: https://www.minidsp.com/products/minidsp-in-a-box/minidsp-4x10-hd https://www.minidsp.com/products/dirac-series/ddrc-88d Sadly the cheaper nano is now gone. |
@millercarbon I would appreciate you not speaking for me, thank you. Yes, from the literature DBA sounds like a fine idea. It is the number of devices and the religious zealotry which you have used to promote it, and this line is a perfect example. There are a number of solutions and DBA may be fine, but so is a good sub in a good room with proper integration can sound glorious. DBA is by no means an exclusive solution but attempting to sell it as the one and only solution is akin to cultish methinks.
