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.

Hi @lemonhaze

So after watching dozens of posts by the DBA fanboys (it’s not derogatory) I ask for the specific discussion of DBA to be taken elsewhere, as many many other thread starters have done in the past, and those with courtesy and goodwill do automatically.

Guess DBA is just too important to expect the fanboys to stop for a moment and think about how they behave.

I now understand.

Dear @lemonhaze  : " Room treatment + DBA : Audio's best kept secret. "

That's is a rule or only your opinion? because not all MUSIC lovers/audiophiles have the same priorities or targets. The OP is a good example.

Dear friends: Normally I don't re-vised/recheck my posts and now that I did it I made a mistake about " fan " that I wanted to mean the same as erik and writed a different word.

My apologizes to all fans and I will fix my mistake that was and is not my attitude about.

Dear @erik_squires : Several of those DBA fans are really that: fans and you know which one is ( non derogatory meaning. ) when with out ask nothing to the OP just posted it does not matters that the OP is looking for advise of subs to listen MUSIC at one and only one seat position. Obviously they need to learn but a fan normally is not abble to learn is not willing to learn.

Now, my advise to you for and for any one is to go for Velodyne due that even in the low bass we need to look for quality in that reproduction range and THD figure in that frequency range is quite critical because its tame all the other frequency ranges.

THD in Velodyne is as low as 0.5% where no other affordable true subs can get. I think that only Magico 40K each sub can even that Velodyne critical measurement.

I understand that in the past you used subwoofer. What made that you let it gone?
