2. speakers

You were right about adding a sub.

I've had subs around the house, but used them mostly for home theater.

From time to time, some of you have encouraged me to use a sub in my 2 channel setup. Curiosity got the best of me over the Holidays and I hooked up a sub using speaker level connections and used the sub's crossover.

My speakers are Usher 6311 and my Integrated is an Anthem 225.

What a difference it made to not only the bass line, but cutting the lows increased the soundstage, improved detail, etc. I feel like I have new speakers, And the bug to try other speakers is gone.

Thanks for the tip- wish I would have tried it before now! For those of you that are tempted, it may be worth a try, it certainly was is my case. I'm using a Svs Sound Cylinder, fwiw.

If you want to play with delay/timing between your mains and a sub, I'd suggest a digital crossover.  I mess about with a Behringer DCX2496...variable timing, slopes, types, points, whatever boats your floats....
Inexpensive, too.  Yes, I know...it may not have any 'pedigree' by the cognoscenti, but It Works.  "OMG, it's 'digital'!  It Must screw up analogue!"

Oh, get real, y'all....unless you've been living under a rock and Everything you listen to is ancient vinyl, digital is pretty much the gorilla in the room.  But, I'm not addicted to dead white Euro composers, either.  Nor do I believe that my 'system' needs to rival the price of the average condo to please me....

MHO...and everything I know is 'wrong'.  Doomed to 'audio hell'.  Oh, well...I know the bouncer, he lets everyone in anyway....*L*
