I was struck by your general satisfaction with your present system.It may not be an option for the obvious cost reasons but unless you really need that last half-octave and are concerned over maintaining the coherency of your Merlins,you might consider biamping as an alternative to a subwoofer>You gain not only slam,drive and authority but fine resolution is usually dramatically improved as well. What biamping won't do is enlarge the sense of scale of the presentation.It still takes lots of moving air for that one. Best, Ken
adding "slam" to 2-way speakers?
i'm hoping to add more slam / energy to my room (15*25*10) as my speakers are 2 ways w/ a 6.5" woofer (merlin vsm). the sound i get is wonderful, but i would like it to be more 'visceral' if possible. would adding a sub accomplish this? i realize that it would entail a 2x coverage of certain freqencies (from 80hz down), but if its seamless & it adds slam, sign me up! any experiences? any merlin owners out there w/ experience? thanks!
