Hello Tube Amplification--Goodbye Subwoofer


I swapped out a very nice British integrated amplifier for a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP.  After one day, I retired the less-than-year-old subwoofer.  There's no need. 

I also had to experiment with port plugs. 

The grip over the woofers and power of bass is something I have experienced in shops but never like this at home.  Now, as I would drive my old SS integrated up the decibel ladder it had great bass.  I think, though, at lower level listening the tube amp provides warmth and authority. 

Goodbye musical subwoofer.  I loved and cared for you, but the new girl does all I need.

Nice to read about such an awesome experience! I am a big fan of the Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP and have heard first hand how the T2s can perform amazing well when paired with the right gear. The amp has a dedicated sub out and I am wondering if you have tried positioning your sub differently, and adjusting the crossover, in order to blend with the T2s for a smoother in room bass response? If not, you might be pleasantly surprised by the results.
