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.

I have owned many different subwoofers throughout the years. I like the rel theory of running the mains full and blend in the subs even if the mains are full range. I also use jim smiths and others recommendations on placement and settings of the subs. I use usher mini dancer 2 DMD speakers running full range. My dedicated treated room is 26'x16' with a 12' ceiling. My subs sound best near the front corners in front of the corner treatments and toe'd in quite a bit. 
Good luck
