Do you think you need a subwoofer?

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.

Eladtford ---you are not viable to me,mainly because you seem to "want" to be a contrarian,without knowing the subject matter,and I don't think you know what you are talking about.LOW frequencies...NOT the midbass that Maggie 1.6's produce!I won't respond to you again,unless you seem plausible about a subject you are not "assuming" things about,without true first hand experience!Sorry,I don't want to be rude.Let's leave it there,if you can?

Raul,...NOW you are "intentionally" being insulting!!

None of my responses to you were meant in the way you apparently took them....It was YOU who decided to take a particular comment made by me,about my not feeling I needed two subs,and you basically went "ballistic" over that,and started with the insults about my understanding of the subject!..You accused me of lying because TWO years ago I felt differently about the subject.Well,two years ago I didn't like red wine,and NOW love it!
You turn almost any response I make into some stupid assault on my knowledge of subject matter,AND you have NOT ever heard my system....ALL my audio friends have heard it,and are set "against" a second sub!!!They happen to be as knowledgeable/experienced as you,but now I am beginning to think alot less of you,due to your "original" instigation,and ongoing negative comments.
I have always defended you when others attacked you for "what I felt was only enthusiasm",but now I am beginning to change my mind a little....This has got to be one of the dumbest conversations(not "you",the actual conversation) I've had on Audiogon,in a long time!!
Is your ego so big that you simply must insinuate yourself into something just to keep your supposed reputation in tact,because I prefer a one sub set-up in my room(which you have never even heard).I stated that there are times when one might not need two subs....Do you actually think that the ONLY way to go is two?...Do you understand the main speakers "room loading" as well as overall low frequency performance greatly affects this?....Are you afraid other regular posters will think less of you,if a subject does not go your way?...What is the BIG DEAL??........OK,I give up!...You can be right!Every situation where a sub is needed should be dealt with by adding two!!...Happy?..

Hi Raul, I just added an in room freq response from the Room EQ Wizard. This response with subs and mains, includes only the room acoustic treatment and the Marchand Bassis EQ for the sealed woofers. No other EQ. I will take some new pictures of my room this weekend (hopefully) and update the room pictures at that time.

Raul, do you have a response of your room that I can see?
