| Try a sub a third in the back Apologies for the title, which should have been, "Try a third sub in the back of the room." 1 AM might not be my best time to write titles. | |

| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music Having just added a second sub this week in part because of the rel sale, I would add to this discussion that with the good also comes a little bad.

| surround processor? 2 speaker and home theater are entirely different. You listen differently. HT is a visual experience with potentially a great immersive sound. I don’t listen to my Marantz 11.2 system for the accuracy of the gun shot sound. I do listen to my 2 spe... | |
| When someone listens to your system for the first time. I like the sentiment here but I’ve also had the opposite experience. My wife and stepson “don’t hear it.” Others do. It’s like you have the gene or you don’t. It makes the enjoyment a little more solitary than I like. | |
