Hi xcool! Definitely a subwoofer. Realize that 250 watts Is only 10 db louder than 25 watts. EVEN IF YOU WENT TO 750 WATTS (eek!) it would only sound 6 db louder. The problem is not power, it's room placement and calling in a specialist - the sub. Play with placement and be amazed. Keep Smiling!
More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music
Hi, just want to know if anyone can offer their opinions on how to boost the bass when listening to 2 channel music.
I just got a pair of B&W 804 D3 and would like to get more bass out of the speakers. I remember the bass was pretty punchy when I heard it in the dealer showroom, but I don't seem to get that in my setup. I currently have Parasound A31 power amp with 250 watts per channel.
So the question is whether I should get a more power amp, or add subwoofer to my 2 channel music. I'm a little bit of a purist and would prefer not to use a subwoofer for music, but I'm open to this option.
I would definitely appreciate if anyone can share their experience/opinion. Thanks very much.
