Classical Music for Aficionados

The sound of the Triton 1’s is so unbelievably rich and detailed with one subwoofer that now I’m worried that when the amp for the second subwoofer gets installed. the sound won’t be as good.

Also I spoke too soon regarding the relative SQ of analog to digital..
Digital is also now starting to sound great as well.

When I first started reading about subwoofers the dogma was that one only required one, and many in addition argued that position of the sub relative to the main speakers wasn’t very important.  The justification for both of these points was that bass tends to be unidirectional and the low frequency wave forms are difficult to place as to origin in a soundstage.

  I quickly learned that the second part of the proposition just isn’t true as sub placement is very critical but I just use one sub in all my systems.  The current dogma seems to be use 2 or 4 subs.  The systems that I have heard with multiple subs don’t impress me, but their owners don’t tend to listen to the music that I prefer

For sure you are right.

What is called room nodes is a pressure distribution zones grid...

When i used resonators in a room location matter  as the main  factor  as much as the mechanical tuning ...

i dont know about many subs...Or one...😊

My 2 rooms were around 1000 feet square and with my resonators i dont needed one even if for sure it would had improve the sound quality ...

I’ve always heard that one subwoofer is okay for a system.  What’s different about my situation is that the subwoofers are built in to my speakers. Theoretically. that would mean the subwooferless speaker would not reproduce the lower frequencies of that speaker, leaving a loss of quality.  But that does not seem to be the case.

I raised the one sub issue in reference to your current problem with your Tritons.  My understanding was that you currently had the enclosed sub working in one speaker only.  My point was that if systems are generally well served with just one sub, do you notice a difference if only one is intact?
