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?

BTW Raul,my mention of "education" had NOTHING to do with how I perceive your "formal" education.Just your knowledge of all things sub-bass related(we can "all" continuously learn).The business of "distortion" you mention has nothing to do with my application.....I think you are taking this a bit too seriously.
Best.
Sirspeedy...I too am familiar with the idea that low frequencies are non-directional. Absolute BS!
Eldartford,I guess you are more knowledgeable than Dave Wilson.I look forward to your future posts for enlightenment.
Dear Sirspeedy: +++++ " Let's agree to leave it at that. " +++++

and then you posted again!.

+++++ " The business of "distortion" you mention has nothing to do with my application... " +++++

I assume that you are hearing to your Ascent speakers. Well that " business of distortion " IMHO has to do with any home audio aplication but headphones.

That " business " distortions " is the most important subject ( quality improvement ) when we integrate subwoofers in our audio system.

It is obvious that you don't understand the whole concept and that's why you are showing your ignorance about but like you posted: +++++ " we can "all" continuously learn " +++++

I always said and posted that I learn every single day on audio topics even from what you already posted on this subject, why don't you try to do the same?:
""" there is no worst unable to hear person that the one that don't want to hear. """""

Regards and enjoy the music.

Sirspeedy...I have no idea who Dave Wilson might be, and can only speculate as to why he might promote this myth which is only too easy to disprove simply by listening.
