Dual Subwoofers?

How about the idea of a separate subwoofer for each channel, using passthrough to bookshelf speakers. What say you?

Each speaker has an output to a sub. In the media room we use a pair of Velodyne SMS-1s that take LR output from an Ayre KX-5 Twenty preamp and send room corrected output to one of a pair of HGS-15s. I'm not sure about the stereo contribution of the subs, but pairs of subs are certainly effective. db

Being a bass head I finally broke down and implemented a (DEBRA) four subwoofer system and the improvement is remarkable. An immersive experience, better imaging, not just more bass but a new window into recordings. I will never go back to a single or dual sub setup. There’s lots of online information on setting up multi-sub systems or you could purchase an AudioKinesis Swarm.
