This is why I gave up on subwoofers. First, you're constantly worried about bass levels...all the time...not to mention the optimum placement. And I never liked how my primary amp sounded with them on the same circuit. I probably gave up too soon...but I felt like I was chasing my own tail at times.
Anyway, over the years I've developed a 6th sense in handling the room I'm in. That has helped. But right now I have the opposite problem: My Primaluna has a lot of bass slam...it's kinda ridiculous. This is not hyperbole. My speakers are Salk Songtowers with 5" mid-bass drivers and there is no need for a subwoofer. I can't believe how good the bass sounds.
Anyway I hope acoustic ceilings come back in fashion. They really do make stereos sound better...no contest.
