Thinking I need a Sub...

Thanks Bob. Yeah, I understand and totally appreicate your advice. I still may need to do a crossover or buy bigger speakers. This was a start and I liked the idea of the REL piggybacking off the amp...it's seems more 'pure'.

Honestly, the music that beats up on the Boxers is pretty extreme and I kind of doubt I'll turn it up that much..

I'm probably going to try my old Klipsch KG4s to see how they do with bass....I'm curious!

Is there some possibility that my amps were causing the distortion? Am I in need of more power? How does that work?? I'm sooo new to this. I love these Macs and don't want anything different.

Bob, the sales dude said the REL will improve the bass so much overall, I'm less likely to overdrive the Boxers...does this make sense?

Thanks,
Aaron

Neo, it makes total sense if he's trying to sell you a sub...lol.

You ought to ask him if you can drive a speaker harder crossed over at 80hz vs. one that is not. I could get an extra 3-4db out of my studio 10's crossed over at 80hz vs not crossed over (running full range). That 3-4db made the difference.

Wolf, where can I order your book? Lol, hilarious...

Merkel Press.

B_limo...yeah, I get it...:)

I found more reviews of REL subs last night and they really do seem to have a different philosophy. Most reviewers seem to agree that they're very good with 2 channel stuff...which is what I'm doing. No HT for me...:)
