I use one sub in my room and it has worked fine for me. But again I use acoustic software that has RTA, phase , and coherence. If you are listening in one spot only, one should not do much adjustment unless you trying to fill an area that requires more area to fill like for HT where their is more then one person in the room then I can see your point in using an array configuration.

@mijostynWhere I have a small listening space, I have found that the small sub I have right now centered in front of my amp-stand sounds pretty seam-less with my stereo speakers. I do want to send the full-range speakers just the upper-bass and up, which I'll experiment with in the near future... Thanks again for your help on this ! |
@highend64I have similar controls for my subwoofer and I've found that my single sub in my small listening space it seems good. I'm not sure at this point I need a second sub. Thanks ! |
I also have a small listening room. I have my sub is also in between my speakers but I have it slightly off center. This give me the the best of both worlds with seamless and tight bass. My Vandersteen 2ci has the adequate bass for the room but I want to be able to reproduce better subbass frequency that I am able to control. |
Different strokes, I guess. Since every record is mastered differently, it follows that every record needs a different equalization. The recording engineer gets to choose his EQ - I think that I should get to choose mine. I built my phono / pre-amp to have auxiliary and sub settings proportional to the main volume control. The pre is right behind my chair. Two auxiliary bass panels and one isobaric sub, crossed over at 200 Hz and 50 Hz respectively, are powered by Bryston amps, yielding a room with fairly uniform bass. (gotta love 350 clean wpc into 8 ohms, especially with 4 ohm speakers, and Bryston pushing current) With adjustable EQ. My test records just have to lump it. |
