I am not sure that I would dismiss a subwoofer. The OP says he has to much bass, but it could be that he has rear ported speakers that are to close to walls. If he uses a front firing sub to handle low frequencies it might eliminate the boom effect and relieving his mains from bass duties can enhance the midrange.
Spend my money
I'm relatively new to this endeavor and would love some advice from more knowledgeable and experienced members. I was hoping to receive your recommendations for upgrading my system at 3 different price points ($500/$1000/$2000), and what upgrade you believe would have the most impact.
For my listening habits, I go analog about 25% of the time and the rest is usually digital streaming Tidal/Qobuz. Also I use headphones around a third of the time. I listen to many genres from jazz to punk to kpop to rap to classical to everything in between.
One upgrade I can't do right now is to add a subwoofer. I live in an apartment and I get more bass than I can use already.
So how would you spend $500? Or $1000 or $2000? I know my system is very modest compared to the ones here but it brings me much joy every day!
