Ldworet...I still have my Quad subwoofer but haven't tried hooking it up with the VR's but have been curious as of late (can always tweak). I haven't really noticed the need for any more bass with the jazz and rock I listen too, depends on the recording and whether my commonwall neighbor is home (I have a townhome)and I need to be cognizant of the bass if I crank the volume. That's another project I'm going to investigate. I would have to purchase a longer length of speaker cable to reattach the sub since I had to move it from it's previous position and have recently reinvested monies in my dac and interconnects to experiment with mids and treble instead. I have my speakers placed 12' apart and 11" from rear wall with a slight toe in for my set up, room is about 24 x 24 with 9' ceiling. Probably not an ideal set up but I have constraints with the room layout (and to keep my wife happy). I also have movies playing thru my system (two channel) but am not looking for the explosive boom or surround effect from the soundtracks which a sub would definitely enhance. Listening to Keith Jarret Koln Concert from a hi-rez download right now, sounds good to me (that could get expensive). Did you get your speakers yet?
