@erik_squires - Thanks Eric, did you read Legacy’s response to this elsewhere?
It also sounds like subwoofer placement is going to be a problem for me too.
Small, Effective Subwoofers?
In a recent speaker thread that I started there were lots of suggestions of adding a couple of subwoofers to my system. As with my speakers (Legacy Signature SEs) I have little room to place subwoofers They will need to go directly to the left or directly to the right of the main speakers. To the left the maximum height would be 12". 12’ would be great on the outside as well, but I could squeeze a slightly bigger unit in there. Would two 12" subs be sufficient here, or would they be too small for this set up?
If 12’ is OK, do you all have any reasonably priced suggestions as did @nevada_matt withe his 2-10 offering from Tekton. I would have never found those on my own, thanks Matt!
I would be super open to some used subs as a cost savings measure here.

@niskymichael - yes, I have heard some good things about those KC62s. Where do you place them in relationship to your Maggie's? |
@lak "I'd give them more break-in time and make sure the speaker cables are in-phase. Even if the red and black ends of the speaker cables look like the correct + and - hook-up experiment and see if it makes a difference" I tried reversing them and sounds worse, so they must be OK |
@atmasphere - opps, sorry, it the two of the ForceField 2s I had, not Tritons! |
@pedroeb - Thx Pedro, only 2 - channels here, but the B&W looks good! @narrowfellow - My room is kinda big though. Sounds like a great fir for you though! |
@grislybutter - this is good to know! Thank you |
@vonhelmholtz - "to me, your room isn’t useable for serious listening" Well, that’s depressing. Now, I’m getting bombarded to SVS ads all over my computer screen! So, how about instead of subs, go for the same speakers but "Active"? |
@grislybutter - LOL, thx |
@grislybutter - Thanks, I like your optimistic approach and yes I can definitely move things around, but a couple of things. I have racked both my back and my shoulder. No problem kicking the loveseat out of the way for listening and closing the drapes (actually, the drapes were hung with listening in mind) but the speakers are another thing, they are heavy. The manufacture's rubber feet make the difficult to move around as well. If just sideways 10" as you suggest, I could get those slider things, but if I need to move them out from the back wall the carpet is in the way. WAIT! I could just roll the carpet back, I guess (don't tell the wife). Maybe it would be easier just to move? |
@vonhelmholtz - just joshin’ ya Von! Thanks for the tips. 🙂 |
