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

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. 

if you are adding a sub, you are adding a tone control. That’s just facts. You are already outside of the pure, well disciplined land of hifi purity and the goddess of music and all things holy will no longer show you her face. We are already damned.

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.

You are hilarious. You completely ignore the specific claim of you pushing DBA like a cult (only we can fix it) and jump into something that was not about you, and allegorical.

You are very selective in your outrage.

Paradigm DSP 3100. And hey -- glad there's another NOLA Boxer user out there!
