Fathom subwoofers?
Despite your domestic considerations you should know the rooms standing wave bass mode locations by conducting the subwoofer crawl using your SB3000. The loudest modes are where your subwoofers should be or fairly close to. Using DSP to remedy a r... 
Fathom subwoofers?
What do you feel is missing with your current low frequency setup? How did you determine your subwoofer's positions?  
Will I benefit from upgrading REL subwoofer pair
@hilde45 asked.   Why REL? Other subs have variable phase, which can prove critical to integration.  ?    
Adding an Sub that doesn't go well below speakers?
Marten speakers, nice.  When any speaker system is positioned in the middle of the room for presentation and sound stage, that room position is usually in the rooms null, choking the speakers potential low frequency output. Shop for an actual su... 
Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers?
Its been over a decade ago. I installed a Gallo Acoustics system on a Newport 30. He would leave the little sub in his dock locker on race days. https://galloacoustics.com/usa/ A wide beam tub with a tiller, glorified day sailer. The Newport 30'... 
How do you high pass your main speakers?
@erik_squires    As someone with hands on experience, and after getting plenty of positive feedback from A’goners who have actually tried it, I believe that most everyone who high passes their main speakers, via a line level crossover of some sor... 
Subwoofer
To have one to three subwoofers work to their integration’l potential at your listening position its imperative to preform the subwoofer crawl to map out your rooms bass mode standing waves (optimum subwoofer positions). https://www.youtube.com/w... 
How do you high pass your main speakers?
I'm guessing your speakers were designed to handle their low frequency limits. If the amplifier driving those speakers has adequate output to drive them, the methode of the high pass filtering may interfere with their designed presentation. Its ... 
Anybody Try A5s With Pass XA30.8?
N. Pass designed? Threshold T-400, sensible handles and connectivity, around a hundred pounds, dangerous no fluff case work not to mention still one of the most intriguing monickers ever given to an audio product. Like a big Mopar still running bi... 
Subs for SF Amati
@w123ale   REL have always been and remain sub-bass speakers. They begin a steep roll off in the 40Hz neighborhood with the T9X dramatically -6dB @ 27Hz.  Your Amati's are rated at (I'm assuming -3dB) @ 28Hz providing almost twice the output ener... 
Going backwards: what speakers best match a pair of REL s/510s
Welcome. I believe REL could answer your question best. FYI, actual subwoofers can be adjusted to better match most any speaker. You should be able to obtain a satisfactory result with their help. Enjoy.    
Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone?
@m669326 "I have a hell of a time determining where to set the sub volume. Which result reflects the recording's intent? How did they mean to balance the bass with the rest? And what sounds the best to me? you'd think I know that last one, but whe... 
Subwoofers: add a JL Audio or switch to 2 Rythmic subs?
The job of speaker positioning is to prioritizes sound stage. The job of a -3dB subwoofer position is to evenly load the room with low frequency. Don’t be confused by the sight of -6dB sub-bass speakers stacked next to main speakers. Sub-bass spea... 
Subwoofers: add a JL Audio or switch to 2 Rythmic subs?
You don't say where or how your subwoofer was located. Sounds like your subwoofer is choking in a bass null. Map the rooms bass modes by using the crawl test then position your E112 in the loudest mode. All you may need are a pair of long cables f... 
Your experience of moving to two subs
@gladmo Assuming your 7T's have a fairly flat frequency response down past 50Hz fugetaboud stereo. The only time I didn't need to use the crawl test (you don't actually need to crawl but it won't hurt to do both walk and crawl) to map out my list...
