Do you think you need a subwoofer?

Dear Dgob: +++++ " I guess that means that my answer is a resounding "YES", I definitely needed sub's - even though I had not realised it before! " +++++

Your last sentence means ( between other things ) that if we can we should try it.

Nice to hear you are satisfied.

regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Sirspeedy: This is what Gmorris posted in this thread sometime ago:

+++++ " To fully recreate the recording space you need the lower octaves even if the recording involves instruments sans the lower registers.

I was surprised at the improvements in detail and ambience retrieval with increased delicacy as a result of the subs on all types of recordings.

Adding a second sub to complete the stereo pair, improved the overall presentation markedly (some folkes claim that low bass is nondirectional and thus one sw is sufficient, but a stereo pair improved everything). The subs also made the overall presentation more articulate and dynamic. " +++++

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul,I am happy for G.Morris.

Best.

Dear mark: Yes, I'm only posted as a reference/opinion.

Have a good time.

Raul,you did not do your homework -:)

Since I assume you are still trying to convince "me" about the "why" I should add a second sub in my own set-up....
Well G.Morris "is" someone I like,and trust.....BUT....he has a completely different speaker/presentation/configuration/room than me.Also,my own speaker goes lower in freq(with more low freq weight than the "superb",but a bit rolled off Maggies.I know them extremely well,so I post from experience,not theory.

Besides -:)....I absolutely "love" my current "full range" sound.No complaints,other than still waiting for my table(coming on the 24th).My new Phantom and Orpheus "need" to play some vinyl!!

Raul,there are some times(I say this from experience)when things can be screwed up,if taken too far.In my room,with my equipment,and the "still surprising me daily" Ascent MK-II's I feel(from listening observation)that I can too easily make a mistake by adding a second sub,for "only" the lowest frequencies.Which(btw) I can "do" quite well,as of now!

Hope you can understand my point of view.

Best regards.
