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.

Looking for some advice. I have a NAD M33 with KEF LS50 Metas and a single B&W ASW 1000 sub. The bass is muddy. Would like to improve the sound. I demoed the KEF KC62 but it would fall asleep and not wake up and I’ve read there are problems with it and the NAD. Any suggestions for what I might do to add a pair of subs for <$2k? Also would like to hook them up wirelessly. Thx. 

Love my T9i, it has added so much realism to my 20x22x9’ dedicated listen room. Looking forward to adding another for a stereo pair.

oldhvymec Once you learn how to integrate a sub properly you will appreciate the qualities REL brings to their speaker line.  Plenty of good information in this thread (and some bad).

Very true. Also, stereo subs matter, 2 are much better than 1 positioned L and R.
