Hi Folks,
Not much to add that hasn't been stated in adding refined, deep bass. I lived with good monitors in many rooms, discovering the added benefits of quick, sealed subs later in the journey. My solution in a small dedicated studio is a pair of monitors atop a pair of subs, digging down into the 20's. I have Auralex isolation platforms to float the subs and IsoAcoustics monitor stands separating the monitors and subs. I split the incoming signal with a Focusrite Pro DAC which removes the heavy lifting of bass from my main tube amp to the monitors, letting the active sealed subs do their thing from 80Hz down. This results in a large, deep, full stage, the disappearing act of great monitors and the heft of full range without limitation to genre nor volume levels. I have nearby friends with astounding, full systems in large rooms. I'm never sad to come home. More Peace, and Happy Holidays. Pin
