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,since you claim not to understand my implementation of only one sub, as stated by you... "you still are talking about "only" one sub woofer goal,you are not taking the whole "view",why? I can't understand it"...I will give it one "last" attempt.....This is it...Because my MAIN speaker has superb output at "very low frequencies",AND I am ONLY using my sub to crossover at "24 hz"!!So,In MY ROOM,and with the particular "room loading" of the main speaker with "this" sub a second,third or whatever sub would be "overkill" to me,and those who have "heard" my system agree. I would rather put my money elsewhere!
It is NOT a "stand alone subject",but dependant on the room,main speaker's low bass,how low one crosses over "the main speaker" to the sub,not to mention that I am totally happy as is!AND I "think" I am pretty critical.
I really hope you follow my logic,as it pertains to me.It might not be your way of viewing the subject,but makes sense to me,and BTW I also greatly respect my friends who were responsible for introducing the hobby to me many years ago...I am done discussing my own taste and approach,and hope you are happy with your own choices.
Best.
Judsauce thanks for lowering the testosterone.Btw,how do you know how happy clams are? -:)
Raul,Sorry...I forgot to ask you a final question about "your" set-up.Could you please tell me at what frequency your main speaker crosses over to your subs at?Just curious.

Best....Btw, I hope this post is not repeated,as I had to keyboard it twice.
