You’re missing a ton! IME the center speaker and subwoofer are the most important speakers by far in a multichannel system. Properly dialed in a good sub (or better, multiple subs) not only adds bass but also ambiance, imaging, 3D soundstage, but it needs to be properly set up and dialed in to be seamless. By all means break out that sub and put it to use!!!
Subwoofer with center channel
Does anyone here use a subwoofer with a center channel? I was watching a Riverside concert dvd today and was surprised by the amount of content being sent to the center channel. My Sonus Faber center speaker sounds good, but I wonder what I might be missing. I have a decent NHT SubTwo I subwoofer that I'm not using. Maybe I should give it a try..

I actually have three subs. Two REL that run in two channel and home theatre. A third larger SVS sub that is connected to the LFE channel for home theatre only. I was thinking that there was a crossover setting for center channel in my Onkyo surround processor, but I can't find it. Probably need to find the manual. I was thinking about adding another sub for just the center channel, but I don't know if it's worth the trouble. |
@carlsbad2 I was wondering about that. |
Sub frequencies can go to the center channel. It depends on how you set your sizing of your speakers in your home theater. For example, I have my center channel and surrounds set to M which then only delivers over 80 Hz. My 2 main channels that are connected to REL subs are set to XXL delivering significantly lower bass. |
