glad to hear you mention how adding subs has not only added bottom end but has enhanced all the sound. This has been my results as well. I listen to any music eith guitars and find a well integrated sub bring weight to the guitars and the vocals and the drums. I crossover at a higher rang than most as I like to have the sub help with those midrange frequencies as well. To the op yes two or a full array is always better but one will still sound great when set right.
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.

Bass play a great role enjoying the music...Even for localization ( phase angle) and imaging and soundstage... And hearing tuba clearly and deeply and organ bass note is like , time to time making love with a plump woman and not always with an anorexic, an another cosmos of love or sounds... :) One sub only , everybody say it, is very difficult to balance ( impiossible for me in my experience)... |
You are spiritually and syntactically irreplaceable here... I am glad to spoke to you again...

+1 on calling SVS ... they can help
And great to see @mahgister and @fuzztone in same discussion two of my favs!! |
Given your limitations and speakers it might make sense to try the KEF offerings as they have settings to support non-optimal placement. The KC 62 might be a bit small for that room, the KF92 might be a better choice. I have LS50’s, and one sub is better than no sub. Yes, two might be better, but not required to improve your sound. |
