Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?


Subwoofers are a thing.  A thing to love.  A thing to avoid.  A misunderstood thing.  

What are your opinions on subwoofers?  What did you learn and how did you learn it?

I have had a powered sub woofer in my audio system for 25 years and wouldn't have it any other way. Started out back in the day with Paradigm 20 monitors with Servo 15 sub woofer because of room constraints. Moved to new house and upgraded to Dunlavy SC lll's with the Servo 15 doing double duty 5.1 and two channel. When dialed in correctly it sounded amazing. No one, but no one back then that I new had two subs. Now in my retirement home with audio room contraints again I now have two separate systems in my small man cave, a dedicated two channel setup with a tube pre amp and tube amp and a 5.1 AV pre amp with a 5 channel power amp. For both systems I have the SVS ultra 13 Subwoofer. I don't have room for two unfortunately. But maybe I have something close to a sub swarm setup as my main speakers have built in powered sub woofers that will go down to 20hz. So along with my SVS Ultra 13 sub woofer the full audio range is pretty prodigious and well integrated with the help of Dirac EQ. I'm just amazed how well my system produces full range music, and for movies also, for that matter!
