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.

Added 2 REL S/5 SHO with their longbow wireless to Maggie 3.7i's.  I don't have to worry about placement except for the AC power, no speaker wires to the subs.  Opens up the soundstage, very clean and detailed bass.

The wireless SMPS's are noisy and I had to take them off the dedicated lines as they were injecting a lot of noise.  Made much worse by upgrading to iFi Power X, now I know why iFi sells DC power purifiers.
