In my experience you have to spend upwards of $20,000 to get the kind of speaker that has nice 30Hz and below bass. Most do okay with 40 plus so for me a sub is a good addition. Even with much more expensive speakers that reach deeper I want a sub. YMMV

fastfreight +1 I have a nice 10” Rel (T/9i that works so well, I’ve not needed to shop further. |
Yes like many I recommend two subs or more if possible I listen to everything from Frank Sinatra too Odesza and I'm in my mid 70's I have two SVS Ultra 13 subs with the upgraded plate amps with DSP control My tower speakers also have built-in powered subs with gain control, so I'm assuming that it's like a bass array All I know is when listen to my music I have no idea were the bass is coming from and trust me it sure can energize the room and l have the crossover set pretty low

For sure not one sub. It may make your system sound worse-it did for me. Two subs at a minimum, 4 being best. As has been previously mentioned-the biggest effect of adding subs is how it cleans up the sonic clutter in your room. The second effect is a tighter more natural bass. The audiokinesis swarm is a great value and would likely work well with your speakers. I had one in place for several years, until I realized my Magico S7's with 3 10" woofers each were running over the 4 10" subwoofers in the swarm. I switched to 4 B&W DB1D's and the improvement was astonishing. If you don't go with the swarm, I would recommend that you chose a sub with DSP capabilities. Again, at least 2 subs! |
