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?

Raul,

No need to respond - I read your system notes and I see that you cross over at 80hz.

Dear Audiofeil: I'm using " dead weigh " ( smaller than the cover ): the ones that use for " muscle growth excersice " ( the right words are not on my vocabulary ).

You can " see it " ( a little ) in the " picture " of my " system ".

This is temporary. I'm looking for a ( same size ) steel plate with a weigh around 45kgs. Stay tunned.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul,
I'm assuming you mean "plates" which are round weights that are used in conjunction with barbells for conditioning by body builders and folks into the fitness thing.

Dear friends: As you know the location for the proper streo integration of the subwoofers is really critical. We have to play around with this subject, many times in incredible " location/way ". Don't be afraid about: try everything till you are satisfied.

My subs are in front of the main speakers and side firing eachother. Till today this is the best " location"way " in my room.

Time consuming but with a big sonic reward. ยก Try hard on this !.
