Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub?


Is anyone else out there enjoying a high-end home theater without the contributions of a subwoofer, e.g. 7.0?

I always planned on getting one (partly because folks selling speakers say I need one), but enjoy what I've got enough to question spending another $2-$5K on a sub(s) for the deep bass extension.

(As a reference, I have Aerial 8b's, 2 pair of SR-3's, CC3b, Meridian 568v1 processor, and Theta Dreadnaught amp.)

Like a hitchhikers night out here!

I have some of the processing some of the meridian owners here have, plus a pair of Sophias, which have all the bass I need for music, however much like a listening session I did with a pair of excellently set up DSP 7000 (one drop down from 8000) the bass was good enough but not heavy enough to carry a lot of the LFE I seem to get in the action movies I watch.

I know Adidadi has a smallish room so his 5200s can make great use of it and pressurise it. I guess it depends on your room - and your taste.

Certainly sounds like a vote toward the dsp8000 then! Just that it is digital until the crossover.
