Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs

@jl1ny

Exactly. I want the clarity the Harbeth’s bring ,however, also want the ability to emulate the feel of a live concert where the kick drum is focused and hitting you in the chest like Thor’s hammer.... 🎉

The question is do I need 2 or just 1 ....my room is Medium large ,but open ended on one side , in the process of treating it as best I can...

I've never felt the need for subs with my 40 series, but if I were to go down that path, I'd look at REL.  Sounds like you may prefer a different kind of speaker... maybe some large JBL's or Klipsch Cornwalls.

@pdreher

I have a pair of Tekton Encores which give the concert vibe , but the Harbeth’s sound is unmatched...they do sound killer , just looking for that extra bump on "Bro Night" 😉

My room is smaller than yours and I’m using a Rel S/510 with my Reference 3A monitors. space permitting Id go with two of them. The Rel S Line is awesome, musical, fast and dynamic. It blew away the T-9X that it replaced.

Sounding like the Rel S line deserves a listen , musical and focused as opposed to boomy...thanks
