Sabrina X Anyone Add Subwoofer(s)


I've not seen mention of pairing these speakers with a fast subwoofer, so I thought that I would ask.

A subwoofer can certainly improve clarity by using them to smooth frequency response. I would highly suggest room measurements to better define your issue before going further. Measurements are an efficient and accurate way to improve listening experience when it comes to bass. The implementation is going to be more important than the model, but there are obviously different approaches between subwoofer brands. REL and JL are very different as reflected in their setup tips and feature sets. Obviously the use of multiple subs gives the opportunity for both increased output frequency smoothing by way phase adjustment. I will say though, that the DARO feature on the Fathom line is powerful and worth consideration. I have a pair of them, and DARO kind of takes the challenge out of finding the perfect spot. With my RELs, there was more placement adjustment between them and my main speakers. I owned the S510s which proved not an ideal output match with my speakers, despite the REL site recommending the T/9. This isn’t against the S510s, I just find the REL suggestions less than perfect.

 

Two E-Sub E112s seem like a better approach than one Fathom.  In theory it moves more air.  I would lose balanced inputs and automatic calibration.

I wish that I could use my Anthem ARC to measure the room.  I'll have to look into this.

Here ya go. This can help integrate dual subs, and at only $400 used it’s $600 less than buying new...

Here’s Kal’s review just FYI...

Believe you me. Start with a proper eval of your room by a specialist. Best 500 you will ever spend. ANYWAY you will need to do that if you want the smallest chance to integrate your subs. 1) Room measurements 2) Apply treatment 3) Add subs - yes, 2, not 1 I have Magicos. Subs are game changer. I learned that a while ago. I have two JL Audio S/510.

I was going to buy from and have installed by the folks that are setting up the Wilson's.  That is why I posted prior to speaker installation.

I want to feed the subs setting the lower crossover point, but I don't intend on having the Wilson's fed by the subs upper crossover.  I would think that this would cause a bit of a peak at the lower end served by the Wilsons and the subs.
