How Much Do Your Subwoofer(s) Cost Relative to Speakers


For people who own subwoofers in the main system, I am interested to know the price ratio of the subwoofer to speakers in your system. Prices in MSRP.

Say if the subwoofer(s) cost $10,000 and speakers cost $10,000, the ratio would be 1 : 1.

If the subs cost $5,000 and speakers cost $10,000, the ratio would be 1 : 2.

If the subs cost $3,333 and speakers cost $10,000, the ratio would be 1 : 3.

Mine is at about 1 : 3.5

Spending for 10.000 dollars speakers and than you needs a sub, there is something wrong. Than you can spend better your sub money for an amplifier. 

Actually I can do without subwoofers with my Altec A7.

 

But they give little bit of more oomph.

I have 3 older REL subs, 2 Q150Es and one Q108 MK 2, 2 were 200 bucks each and one was maybe 250...my mains are Heresy III "Capitol Records 75th Anniversary" (woopty friggin' do) editions and they cost 14 thousand bucks a pair. I may have paid too much for those, but they're real good.

You are correct. I probably wouldn’t want them next to my Rockports. Would like to at least hear them though.

I paid very low prices for the sub setup.  If I bought it all new now it would cost double what my speakers cost.  As we used to say at work, run to failure.
