Subwoofer


Looking to add a subwoofer to my 2 channel system. Problem arises in that there is only one location give or take 2 feet in all directions where the subwoofer can be. 

Very large untreated open concept room. 14 ft tray ceilings, about 30 ft by 20 ft. Hardwood floors. Serious WAF. Maybe one day will have dedicated room but for now should I wait, make it "work" with eq, accept the limitations of the location, hope it works?

Suggestions please. Maybe a particular brand addresses this.

Modwright integrated, vintage Thorens, Innuos streamer,  Kef R3. Kef LS50. Usher 530. Watkins.  Ryan R2.

I think grislybutter is right...

I bought a subwoofer years ago because my MIssion Cyrus never go down 45 hertz really...

With an organ music album it is a pity...

But the sub alone dont cure the problem and worsened it because the unbalance it created...I sold it on the spot... :)

I think it takes more than one sub  to balance the system and the room...

 Sadly at first but fortunately at last , my headphone replaced my dedicated room now because i sold my house... My headphone go so low under 30 hertz that i feel the wave with my body and feet by bones resonance and it is like the owgan was in my room... No sub is needed...And my new headphone beat my past speakers in their well tuned room..

 

thanks @mahgister I hope you are enjoying the music whichever ways, maybe nearfield listening with speakers is an option too!

I can assure you the Akg K340 are now optimized and so good i will never go back to the difficult task to tune a room... I dont need because  the three dimensional "out of the head" soundfield of my headphone beat my past speakers or rival them  ...

The K340 is unique headphone the most different designed headphone ever compared to any other... Read about it...

 

My best to you and your family...
