when using vandersteen2wq powered sub...

thanks....im going to use one with my 2ce sig...because i use tube pre and power and don't want to give up the tubes anywhere because they do such a super job on the mid and highs...espeically listening to cont. jazz. the ss. amp in the sub is then doing what it needs to do with those low octaves......it's subtle but i believe correct in getting the presence of bottom end..even though the pounding of certain freq. aren't there because i believe it is used all the time in speakers where the freq.are boosted too much to allow a lower end that sounds good but isn't correct...especially in stand up bass...thanks gang...if anyone has futher details concerning this sub..please let me know...i am using a cary audio cd..cary pre and power into the vandy 2ce sig..and i am very pleased...the sub is subtle and i believe that is correct...please feel free to respond...thanks...dwhitt

thanks.....the bottom end is so important to give strenght and a foundation for all the other freg...or music to sound correct or musical. now...where is a good placement of a sub woofer? typically...a pair is understandable..but..financial concerns can only allow one..so ..since recordings typically record everything under 100 cycles in mono..then ..why two subs...which i am hearing is correct...i say place the sub in the middle of front speakers....and correct if necessary the contour of the sub ..for the room size,etc......to many listeners..i believe the twin sub could be a selling issue to sell more subs...when doing other things such as isolation or equipment...cables, etc....that money on a second sub could buy many a good cable..power cables..isolation..etc...any responses are accepted..thanks...dwhitt
