Chakster-I don't mean to create thread drift but this thread is as good as any-I would love to know a bit more about you. You live in St. Petersburg but how old are you and what do you do for a living if you don't mind my asking? And even perhaps a bit more personal but do you own your own freestanding home (I ask because of your generously sized listening room). And yet one more-can you comment on the audiophile community in your area of Russia? Is there one?

Dear @martinman : There is no doubt that you should go for the subwoofer. "   something more musical ", the issue is not musical but a true subwoofer with quality level second to none and a true sub must go deeper than 20hz with low distortion levels and obviously quality sound.

There are several alternatives for subs this one is really good and both comes by HSU that maybe in the subs area knowledge is second to none. That its low price don’t distress you, HSU is not a bub-bum unit but a sub with really high quality bass level performance. Probably only Velodyne is at its level ( I own a " little " older pair Velodyne ) but at little higher price. You need two of either model showed here:

@fsonicsmith Hope you're not recruited by KGB. Anyway, in the current situation in my country we do not have to post as much about personal life on an open forum. But I'll tell you that the audiophile community is HUGE, and yes, I own my flat in the building. The rest you can check in my virtual system. 

I will take that to mean you are KGB. I am from Russia. At least, my grandparents were. From a long-gone village named Slutzk. My real last name was Telushkin before it got shortened. 

Are there audio equipment manufacturers/producers in Russia? Why do you own American/European components?
