Do you think you need a subwoofer?

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.

Raul,one other point.....Please re-read the "last" line,in your original "Post"!!

You ask us to let you know "what we think"!

I,and some others have done that,and you STILL adhere to your "own" specific agenda(nothing wrong with that,btw).Yet,you seem to become contrary to any opposing views.Under "some" circumstances....like,"maybe some of us are really happy already,and(miraculously)actually have very good,"linear" low frequencies....because ALL rooms are different,in how they support bass"!!!

My own point(which is ONLY in MY room,with MY PARTICULAR set-up)is that "SOME" rooms,and particular speakers/system set-ups may not necessarily benefit much by a second sub.SOMETIMES,and it is NOT uncommon!!
If you don't agree with the somewhat opposing thoughts,then I suggest you re-word the "last line"(of your post),to read.....

"What do you think,so I(Raul) can disagree,and tell you so,if the information is NOT to my way of thinking"!!

Best,as always,
Mark -:)

Dear Sirspeedy: Yes, absolutely!.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul, whilst I may query your selection of turntables and arms on occasion, I must tell you how right you are about the utilisation of two subwoofers over one.
For 10 years I had a single REL Stadium II subwoofer integrated in my system and was quite happy with the sound. After installing the Halcro DM58 monoblocks, I found that they drove my full-range speakers down to the same low frequencies as did the REL.....so for the last 2 years I have lived happily without any subwoofers. Your thoughts, and those of Richard Hardesty in the Audio Perfectionist convinced me to try two subs in my system. I purchased two Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers, and after some help from John Rutan of Audioconnection in integrating them properly, I must admit that everything you say about having two instead of one is correct. The extra extension into the lower octaves is probably the LEAST important improvement wrought. The entire musical presentation has rocketed to a previously unimaginable level. The 3 dimensional space between and behind instruments has snapped into such dramatic relief that guests who listen, turn to each other in disbelief. The sound of the main speakers have an ease and purity together with seemingly unlimited headroom, and listening to full symphony orchestras with a solid bass foundation is as close to the real thing as I have experienced. It's great to have your contributions on this forum.......it's just that you may not be right ALL of the time?

Halcro,

I know what you mean. The experience has been fantastic for me, my system and listening enjoyment. A huge step closer to that holy grail!;~)
