Subwoofer for classical music listener


This is my second post on the subject of subwoofers.
My first post wasn't specific enough.
I listen to classical music 90% of the time.
Are there any classical music listeners out there who have subwoofers?
if there are, could you let me know what you have?
i don't imagine I would need quite as powerful or expensive a sub as those who mainly listen to other types of music, but I may be wrong.

I listen to classical music about 80% of the time and yes, I believe that sub woofer(s) which are successfully integrated with your listening room and main speakers can make a significant difference.

Over the years I've owned about a half-dozen speaker/sub woofer setups.  Some of the integrations have been pretty stress-free, others not!

My current setup is in a room that had terrible low frequency characteristics (too numerous to go into here), so integrating my pair of JL Audio F113V2 subs was a very frustrating challenge!  I ultimately purchased a UMIK-1 miniDSP calibration microphone, the REW (Room EQ Wizard) software and 10 bass traps to control the room resonances and finalize the tuning of the subs.

As it's been said by others, the best sub woofer is the one that doesn't sound like you have them....until you turn the power off!

Enjoy your setup!
