FYI, added room data to the blog post.
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.

Hey @ozzy62 Thanks for being the only person who missed me. :) I have learned with discussions like this that they come to more satisfying endings if A'goners contribute and have their say instead of me trying to reply to every post.
@hilde45 - Thanks for your eloquent synopsis of my work regarding subwoofers and music lovers. It's true, in my mind, that getting a subwoofer is like getting a dog. There's a lot to consider about it's food, mental happiness, exercise, etc. before committing to one, and yet dogs are wonderful. Same for subs. I have updated my posting with information about the room, and also the statement that frankly my results were surprising and not typical. |
People accuse me of all kinds of over the top exaggeration and insult, but I've never even come close to vilifying anything as unholy and damned. G-d Eric the stuff you get away with. Tsushima and his little crew of familiars would be all over me in a nanosecond if I said you are impure and damned to hell for your choice of speaker. Can't fathom even a shred of it but I must admit, you got your act down son. That you do. You go, girl. |
@edcyn what sub are you using with your Nola Boxers? I’m looking to buy a sub for mine and curious about your setup. I’ve been looking at smaller sub like SVS SB3000 and REL t7x. As to OP post, I think it’s great that he was able to tune his room to the point where he doesn’t feel he needs the sub. That clearly took some effort and gave me some pointers on what I can do in my room to improve it. Thanks, OP. |
