My main speakers already go to 20Hz. But due to a standing wave in the room, there was no bass in the listening position! I added a pair of Swarm subs and it took no fiddling (once I placed the two subs I've not had to move them at all nor mess with their wiring). I set up the subwoofer amp per Duke's instruction and they worked a treat. I can tune the sub amp on and off and the difference at the listening position is profound. Its worth noting that nearly everywhere else in the room there is bass without the subs. I amp limited by the room layout as to where the listening position is though. So this proved an elegant solution.
Two vs four subwoofers for music playback
Hello guys,
I currently have a pair of subwoofers for my 2 channel audio system and I enjoy them very much as they make a big difference in sound quality, mostly on body, presence/ambience and 3D image.
I'm thinking about buying an extra pair of subs to emulate a Swarm bass array and smooth out even more the room bass response and get even better dynamics, 3D and presence.
Has anyone had experienced a similar situation?
Has anyone done it?
Can you share your thoughts here?
Is it worth the expense and the effort of voicing extra subs?
