Adding subwoofer to Full-Ragne Speakers question


Especially for music...
The sub will surely add deeper base in the bottom end side..., I guess that's the purppose of adding a sub to begin with...

However, does it help in the midrage area?
Taking some load off of those woofers on the speakers so that they can concentrate on the midrage? or it doesn't matter as far as midrage's concerned.

I think I never got clear answer to this question, yet...

Let's not anthropomorphize speaker drivers. They do not have powers of concentration. They merely move in response to electrical signals delivered to them. Now I suppose it's conceivable that if a crossover were diverting LF signals away from your mains, the drivers might be marginally more accurate, at least at times. But I wouldn't expect this to be particularly significant, if it's even real. And any such effect will be overwhelmed by the effect on the bass. When you try out a subwoofer in your system, I guarantee that your decision about whether you like it or not will turn on bass performance, period.
