Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass


I sold my older powered sub a while back. reasons-

1. It did not integrate well.

2. I was pretty satisfied with my 2 speakers bass output.

3. Was big, heavy and ugly.

After traveling around the counrty and listening to home systems put together by people who know their way around the industry I realized they all have something I did not. A well integrated bass array.

So what does a bass array add to a 2.0 system?

This is where words fail but I will try:

-Increased Involvement in the listening experience

-More enjoayble sound stage

So if you are like I was, a sub denier, I suggest you try one small

sub, as I did, and see what you experience. My $500 REL T5x experience

did it for me. Now I will buy a second one.

I just upgraded from the REL T-Zero mkIII to the new T-9X. Very excited to hear what it brings to my system. 

Follow-up- the T9/X arrived and it’s hell of a lot bigger than the T-zero. I’ve yet to dial it in fully but the amount of resonance generated by this thing is epic, even at low volume. I placed it on a 1.5” granite slab which helped tame it somewhat. I’m also limited to 1 spot for placement, I’m thinking I might have bitten off more than I can chew here. I’m gonna need to do some real fine tuning over the weekend.
