Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room?


In my 12'x12'x11' room, am I better off with limited low frequency speakers, such as those which only extend down to 40-50hz, or will the mere introduction of a speaker that extends down to 35hz be potential for trouble (The extent of my knowledge is that lower frequencies need larger spaces to truly breathe, and the wavelength goes up exponentially). My listening space is my living room, and there's not a lot of space for room treament. I'm auditioning a single GIK Soffit bass trap. I'm not sure how much it will help.

I listened to my Canton Ref 9K the other day and was surprised by their ability to play bass notes very clearly. I looked at their specs and they are said to hit 25 Hz but I guess that is a few db below neutral. Great stand mounts and could work great in a small room. I will probably add subs later since my room us larger than yours. They also looks like a million dollars in the walnut finish.
