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

@steveashe  thanks for sharing your experience with the SVS Micro 3000.  Can you share more about what you compared it to and why you chose the SVS?  Given your Pass Int-25 and the limitations connecting to a sub, I would have thought a REL or similar sub with speaker connections would have been an easier option.  What tipped you towards the Micro?  I’m actively shopping for a new sub and Micro is on the short list.

I didn't do much research.  I had been thinking about adding a sub for a while when I happened upon Herb Reichert Stereophile review of the SVS Micro 3000 w/ M30.2's.  It just seemed to be a good match so I didn't look much further.  I did consider the KEF KC62 for a moment (I think that's the model, their small sub) but it was almost double the price.  

I'm always happy to read when people have positive easy experiences with subs they are happy with. 😁

it's all down to set up. if you can set the sub up properly it sounds good. if you cannot, then do not go for it

Using Rel s5 Sho subs with my Thiel 3.7s.  I would never go back to no subs.  There is a presence and expansion of the sound stage that I would very much miss.  That said, if you listen to chamber music or music without much lower frequency information, I would image you wouldn't miss having subs in your system.
