| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Yes, also true that offloading bass to a separate powered sub provides potential for full range speakers to perform better in remaining range covered in many cases due to less demand on the speakers to cover a wider range and benefits now to ampli... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Two useful scenarios I see for using a powered sub:1) handle the low end with smaller monitor speakers that do not do much below 50 hz or so. 2) provide greater flexibility for dealing with room acoustics and how that affects the low end in partic... | |
| AudioQuest DBS Field I have them but cannot attribute any sonic differences to them. I have never done any a/b testing with dbs on and off so hard to say. The cables do work just fine with dbs normally on however. | |

| Why not horns? Thanks for the advice.I'll see what happens this weekend when the auction ends. I can pick up locally and not worry about shipping damage and if the price stays where I think it will, I will be tempted to test the waters perhaps. I'm sure I can fi... | |
