So sub or not to sub

I tested many Velodyne's for stereo use. To be honnest I did not find them fast enough. The same about the older Rel subwoofers. In the past I sold many rel subwoofers. In the last few years I lend many old customers Monitor Audio subwoofers. They all sols there Rel subwoofer. Because they all went for the much better integration caused of the better response. I would take soem time to test some different subwoofers. And you will hear which one matches best. Room acoustic systems work often good for subwoofers. You get less acoustic problems. Audyssey Pro gives you one of the best integration for subwoofers. Or even the best level in what I call 'stealth' integration. Goodluck!

Wow - you all are awesome. Thanks for pdf's and all the advice.

I am a big fan of sub in two channel systems but you have to run a true highpass crossover. It can not be done well with out it.

Bo1972 what continent and country are you from?

James633, what kind of high-pass crossover do you use, and how is your system set up for this? I have been pondering this route for a while.

Wolf, there's nothing more practical than a good theory. I went over it briefly, tried it out, measured, listened, and confirmed it worked for me. If complex theories make someone frieghtened, it's ok to stay away and pretend they aren't going to work anyway.
