Do you think you need a subwoofer?

Why almost any one needs subwoofers in their audio systems?

I talk with my audio friends about and each one give me different answers, from: I don't need it, to : I love that.

Some of you use subwoofers and many do in the speakers forum and everywhere.

The question is: why we need subwoofers ? or don't?

My experience tell me that this subwoofers subject is a critical point in the music/sound reproduction in home audio systems.

What do you think?

One of the things the speaker SYSTEM needs to do is cover the low frequencies to the same suitable extent as the other frequencies. That requires a suitable combo of amp and speakers. A "sub" in the sense of a separate device that covers the low range, may or may not be needed as well.

That pretty much covers it in a general sense I think. Beyond this, the devil is all in the details!
