I have been using a pair of Vandersteen 2Wq subs with my mains for about 12 years. I wouldn't want to listen without them. Deep, clean, powerful bass makes listening more involving and leaves more power for my mains. The battery biased external crossovers keep things transparent. Bass integration with these subs is superb, and in my room, corner placement works best, as they were designed for corner placement.
Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo?
I thought using a 12 inch b&w asw 2000 sub would b good to allow my b&w 804 d3’s to better handle freq above 80 hz (ie. benefit from sharing burden). I am not sure this is prudent as my well powered 804s can probably handle those lower frequencies just fine, and may make them sound better vs cutting them off from flowing thru the 804s.
My Stereo listening is done by streaming thru a nucleus connected via usb to a chord Hugo tt2 and then to a marantz 5014 via coaxial, then to a McIntosh mc255 and then off to speakers referred to above
Does excluding sub from stereo make sense?
