Do you think you need a subwoofer?


Why almost any one needs subwoofers in their audio systems?

I talk with my audio friends about and each one give me different answers, from: I don't need it, to : I love that.

Some of you use subwoofers and many do in the speakers forum and everywhere.

The question is: why we need subwoofers ? or don't?

My experience tell me that this subwoofers subject is a critical point in the music/sound reproduction in home audio systems.

What do you think?

Try your system with two subs instead only one and try a crossover at: 80Hz, " listen " and decide.

I share this statement with you and is one of the reasons: why we need subs. I know well your Paradigms ( nice sound ) and maybe you have to try hard again for integrate your unused sub.

Regards and enjoy the music.
