Earl Geddes has been a longtime proponent of multiple subs. There are a few other enlightened individuals who agree but it seems strange that this system is not more widely adopted.
I assisted a good friend with set up of 3 subs in an awkward room and when we eventually found the best placement was knocked out with the result. I later took over a tiny pair of bookshelf speakers, adjusted the settings and slowly turned up the volume. Well talk about a WOW moment. We heard what could easily have been mistaken for a pair of large floorstanders, only thing is a single pair of speakers, which can be explained, can not produce the kind of bass we were hearing. If I high-passed the little speakers, relieving them of the bottom 2 octaves they would have been even better.
Should anyone reading this wonder if bass trapping is necessary, it is, but the tiny foam things from Amazon or wherever simply can not, regardless of what they claim, absorb low frequencies. Unfortunately physics demand they be rather large. My recently installed traps are 900mm (35.5") across and run from floor to ceiling. I have measured the room and notice that I probably need more. Fortunately my wife actively encourages me.
Hi noble100, your room looks great. Your pics show a unit sitting on top of the Oppo which appears to be a streamer. May I ask what it is you have there and how you came to choose it?
