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?

Hey Doug,don't be jealous!You had your shot last winter with your offer to appear(I knew it would not reach fruition,though you're loveable too)at my friend Sid's doorstep,with your ZYX UNIV in tow!It's probably in a vault,when you're not listening.
Sirspeedy: Somewhere you mention that you weren,t able to get down to Mexico city to listen to Raul,s because you were
saving $ for family vacation. Why not accept Raul,s invitation and do both: You can fly with the family down to Mexico city, you stay for a night and the family conmutes to one of Mexico,s semi- paradise beaches(Cancun, Conzumel, Ixtapa,Acapulco etc..), then you meet them next day. Just an idea, but after being at Raul,s place about 6 weeks ago,i think its worth the effort.
Cardani,I think ANYTHING audio is a hard sell to the "little lady" these days.I have to keep her happy,on vacations,by shying away from audio related topics.Thanks for the suggestion.
Dear Doug: You are always welcome. Please let me know if you are ready to do it.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
OH,DRATS---I was hoping Raul was independently wealthy,and was willing to fly myself,and family to his private listening compound,on his dime!!Apparently no such luck!!

Hmm!There's always Albert Porter!Think I'll begin to "Butter HIM up"!!Albert,did I ever mention that you have the best system on the Planet??I don't take up much sleeping space,and eat little.Maybe I can offer a couple of freebie tennis lessons,in return!

Best regards!
