Add a pair of 2wq's to my Vandersteen 3A Sigs?


It seems my system has lost a little of that "slam" or "punch" in the last year or so. I'm having the capacitors replaced in my PSE Studio V mono amps soon, and I expect that to help; but, I'm also considering adding a pair of Richard's 2wq subs. How has your experience been? The only real spot I have for the subs is
behind and a little in from the 3As. Does the adjustability make placement a small issue? I'm interested in Quatros, but they're beyond my budget.
Thanks for your time,
Steve

Steve, Regarding this lack of punch, is this because of some changes you have made in equipment OR due to any acoustics ? Also Would you know as to which frequency range this is in ?
As am sure you know the "Punch" exists right from 100 Hz and below and if this is in the 50-100 Hz range, it may not be the sub which is a solution.
OTOH a sub is great to fill in and extend the lower end and beyond of the speakers (having run Dual RELs once) although it is quite an effort in getting the position+Phase combination right

And as far as Subs go, the 2WQs are as good as they get from all ive heard and you cannot go wrong with them.
