Why the fascination with subwoofers?

Hi Everyone,

     I just wanted to let you know I’ve just finished setting up my system with my new dspNexus crossover which operates 8 channels at 192K. Each channel has extremely high quality DACs and the DSP I was able to attain with my subs is like nothing I’ve ever seen. I’ve got the mains running full range and four subs measured with Room EQ Wizard and processed the results with Multi Sub Optimizer and entered the 12 biquads per channel generated into Audio Weaver which is completely customizable to any system design you have. The team at Danville Signal Processing has been awesome with their assistance. My stereo has never sounded better. The realism of the music is eerily real. This is a great addition for anyone wanting to take things to the ultimate level of signal processing with accurate powerful base.

I hate subwoofers!!!  That's why I own true full range, floor standing loudspeakers.

@kennymacc but many people are limited by their wife or girlfriend to small speakers.  Lots of skinny floorstanding offerings too that are not true full range.  thus the demand.

What’s interesting is the OP has or had 2 in his system. 

Hi @kennymacc 

    Just curious, why don’t you like them? I have 20.1 Maggie’s which are “full range” but they can’t touch my system with my fully integrated subs. It’s breathtaking, visceral, and seamless. I will say that before I had four and used multi sub optimizer it was a challenge to try to integrate just two for me. I had room nodes so bad my Pass X-250 would draw so much current trying to play the subs “loud” enough that I’d blow the fuse, lol. You can’t overpower science. . . The advice here and the effort is well worth it to integrate subs into any system in my opinion, even if it is just to offset room issues. 
 

Thanks,

Steve
