Sub Question

I tried to do a search, but could not drill down on this. Anyway, I have never owned a sub. I never really felt the need. However, I had a friend tell me that a sub does more than just enhance bass output and perhaps bass quality. He went on to say that having a sub takes pressure off the driver thus making the speaker do less work. Because of this, the speakers will sound better or have better clarity. Thoughts?

If you use high-pass in sub, it will take take pressure off your mains.

Best if you do this with stereo subs.

Kclone: RELS are unusual in that they recommend binding the sub inputs to the binding post of the speakers.

Therefore, I don't think they introduce any crossover into the circuit.

It may be possible to wire them in different ways. Look at picture of backpanel and see if there is crossover.

Personally, I would get two subs and highpass them in series to my mains, then set up the room carefully. I would get sealed subs if I could afford them.
