Upgrading sub to get a live feel.


I currently have a set of JBL 4319 which has its history as 4310. They are studio monitors and as a result they sound like studio monitors you hear everything, but they lack the physical presence on the low end. They have wonderful mid range and voice presence. I also have a pair of SVS SB1000 to help with the low end. 

I want to eventually upgrade to JBL 4367 with upgraded pair of subs, for this reason, but in the mean time would a sub upgrade be considered before the speakers.

The truth is that any audio and music lover, who even briefly experiences
the state of the art bass from a DBA, would obviously do whatever it legally or illegally takes to get the money and find the space.
    The concept works that well and I'm just trying to spread the word.

So would anyone who hears a well integrated sub in a small living room vs. no sub or a poorly integrated one. Sadly, very few people have ever heard this.
  I understand your points but think they’re only partially valid:

"Sure, swarms are nice, but not everyone can afford or has the space for them."


Unless you happen to not be able to afford the money or the space, in which case they are 100% valid.

Hahahhahaha.

Also, most people have never heard a great single sub integrated well.


The difference in sound quality between a poor sub set up and a great set up is astounding.
Room acoustics and EQ matter a huge deal. More so than the sub hardware itself in a lot of cases.
