The Submini was first placed under my desktop, but the bass integration with the FR2 speakers (on short stands on the desktop) was not optimal. It sounds better on the desktop, firing towards me, more or less in line with the speakers. My goal is not to get the most bass, but the best bass, sounding like it comes from the speakers not the sub itself. The bass now sounds clearer, better articulated and coherent with the midtone and treble. Interesting how "small" things like sub placement can mean big improvements. Ideally the sub should probably stand in between the speakers, but my pc screen makes that impossible. So it now stands to the left of the speakers, and is maybe a bit louder to the left, but not much, provided I tune the sub volume and crossover "just so" (low-moderate) to help the system along. The sub is small and simple, but does a good job now.
Sub for single-driver desktop speakers
Hi there audio friends. Can you suggest a musical subwoofer for use with my new desktop speakers? I just got the Arche Audio FR2 single driver speakers, they sound good, but I would like some more low midtone/bass. They only go down to 100hz. I don’t need a big powerful sub, just something to extend the range down to maybe 60 or 50 hz, to add a little «soy sauce to the rice», so to speak. The sub should not interfere with the purity of the single driver design.
