How do I know if I need a sub woofer?

I have built my system based on science/physics but also with an eye (ear) toward what sounds best. I find sometimes that by going for the flattest frequency response or greatest reduction in a particular room mode, I just don't like the sound so there is always going to be that subjective aspect. But as everybody says, as long as you enjoy it, it doesn't really matter.

However, I believe you're more likely to enjoy it if you follow the science. And the science says that using multiple subwoofers will not only extend your frequency, it will also reduce your room modes. This to me is the greatest benefit. No more boomy, or at least less. Room modes are a tough cookie and to my ear, far more onerous than a less than perfectly flat frequency response.

@jsalerno277 “After due diligence, including without limitation”

Not a criticism by me…. Just an observation @ 01.02am 01.03am & 01.04am

Publishing your post 3 times is really re-enforcing “due diligence”

@sounds_real_audio ”l guess if l get a sub or two my quest for a very good sound system will be over…thank god”

If anyone can’t see jsalerno277’s logical points of view now, God help them.

@mylogic So quick to criticize.  ‘Twas not intentional to stress a point or to create stress for you.  ‘‘Twas not accidental for I made no error.  The website gave me pop-up error System Error messages four times.  First, when I started typing and a spell check corrected to LOL.  Then when I hit SEND 3 times more, never getting a SEND confirmation, and not seeing my post after sending.  I received a send confirmation after fourth attempt.  This morning I received the same system error message.   You will not get an apology for a website system error.  If something like this upsets you, it’s time to reevaluate your need for mediation techniques or medication dosing.  

@jsalerno277 ”So quick to criticize”

Not at all intended.

l totally agree 100% with your due diligence findings.

l will however apologise for causing a misunderstanding. I just observed the three postings as the way l used to act and think in my job about the need to constantly revisit the training of due diligence with my staff. It was meant for light parody the importance of due diligence. Protecting employees and the thousands of customers who entered my store each week.
 

Your mention of the glitchy site is right up there with due diligence. Audiogon have done nothing to stop the glitches on here since the pop up adverts appeared last month. Freezing pages, booting off the site, pages jumping and general slowing down timing out problems.

Come on Audiogon, let’s have some due diligence to put this right. Sub WOOF WOOF WOOF!

Again apologies to jsalerno from me and l understand his frustrations regarding the three duplicate posts.
